Here is a list of the confirmed deaths of U.S. military service members killed in Operation Epic Fury, numbered approximately, to the best of our knowledge, and displayed newest to oldest. For deaths that take place on the same day, we alphabetize according to the first letter of the service member’s last name; that means the chronological number next to a service member's name may change after the Pentagon announces more identities. Because of the timing of a service member's promotion, the rank given in the service members' entries don't always match the rank on their uniforms.
