Specialist Sanders & Specialist Moffett both enlisted in the #ArmyReserve in 2019 & were trained to operate heavy equipment, such as road graders. #Tower22 was Specialist Moffett’s first deployment. Specialist Sanders had been deployed once before, in 2021, to an American outpost in Djibouti.

The three who were killed on Sunday are part of an often overlooked part of the military that delivers supplies, maintains buildings, builds roads and does other routine work while shouldering the risk of operating in hostile territory.
Sergeant Rivers was trained as an electrician, had served in the #ArmyReserve for more than a decade and had been deployed to Iraq in 2018 during the fight against Islamic State militants, according to Army records.

2 ofcls said an initial assessment suggested that the weaponized #drone may have been mistaken for an American aircraft returning to #Tower22, a base in NE #Jordan close to where the country’s border converges w/ Syria & Iraq. Sabrina Singh, a Pentagon spox, told reporters that the attack occurred early Sun & struck living quarters, described as containerized housing, where personnel were still in bed asleep.

They were members of an #ArmyReserve unit, the 718th Engineer Company, from Fort Moore in Georgia & the first American troops killed by hostile fire since the war in #Gaza triggered a steep rise in #violence across the #MiddleEast.

While the #Pentagon scrambled to identify what went wrong at the isolated facility w/the goal of preventing more bloodshed from ongoing attacks by Iranian proxy forces, President #Biden’s vow to retaliate raised questions about whether the #UnitedStates could tip the region into the full-scale #conflict that DC has sought to avoid. The incident also prompted concern about whether US personnel are adequately prepared to defend against the proliferation of attack #drones.
