The Pentagon has identified the three soldiers who were killed in a drone strike at a military base in Jordan on Monday.
Sargeant William Jerome Rivers, aged 46, Specialist Kennedy Landon Sanders, aged 24, and Specialist Breonna Alexsondria Moffet, aged 23, were revealed as the casualties.
The troops were killed on Saturday night by Iran-backed militants after a housing unit was struck, killing three service members and injuring at least 40 more.
Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh honoured the “fallen” soldiers who were deployed to Jordan as part of Operation Inherent Resolve.
“These brave Americans and their families are in our prayers, and the entire Department of Defense mourns their loss,” she said.
