US Edition2 soldiers killed in separate noncombat incidents in Iraq, Kuwait
- Two U.S. Army soldiers died this week in separate non-combat incidents while deployed in the Middle East supporting Operation Inherent Resolve.
- The deaths occurred amid ongoing U.S. military operations in Iraq and Syria focused on eliminating the Islamic State group, as the Pentagon announced earlier this year plans to reduce the number of bases in Syria.
- Saul Fabian Gonzalez, 26, died Tuesday in Erbil, Iraq, while Emmett Wilfred Goodridge Jr., 40, died Sunday at Camp Buehring, Kuwait; both were assigned to units based in Fort Campbell, Kentucky, and Fort Drum, New York, respectively.
- The Department of Defense stated both soldiers died of non-combat injuries and that their deaths remain under investigation, providing no additional details in the announcement on Wednesday.
- These non-combat deaths highlight ongoing risks faced by deployed forces amid the planned drawdown of U.S. personnel in Syria to fewer than 1,000 service members.
