Chief Warrant Officer Three Robert M. Marzan, 54, of Sacramento, Calif., is\u00a0also\u00a0\u201cbelieved to be deceased.\u201d A medical examiner will certify the identification,\u00a0according to a separate release from the Pentagon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

immeasurable, and California stands in solidarity with them, united in grief and gratitude. Chief Warrant Officer Three Marzan\u2019s steadfast commitment exemplifies the highest ideals of our state and our country,\u201d the governor\u2019s office wrote.

In total, six US service members with the Army Reserve\u2019s 103rd Sustainment Command were all killed in the Sunday Iranian drone attack.7<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Capt. Cody Khork, 35, of Florida.; Sgt. 1st Class Noah Tietjens, 42, of Nebraska.; Sgt. 1st Class Nicole Amor, 39, of Minnesota; and Sgt. Declan Coady, 20, Iowa,\u00a0also died in the attack, as announced by the Pentagon on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The highly-decorated soldiers had a wealth of experience between them. Some, like Amor, served for nearly two decades. The youngest in their battalion, Coady, enlisted in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To the families and teammates of these Cactus Nation Soldiers: you have my deepest sympathy and my respect,\u201d Maj. Gen. Todd Erskine, the commanding general of the 79th Theater Sustainment Command, said in a statement. \u201cOur nation is kept safe by folks like these \u2014 brave men and women who put it all on the line every single day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey represent the heart of America. We will remember their names, their service, and their sacrifice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

War Secretary Pete Hegseth\u00a0claimed that the tactical operations center where the six soldiers were based \u201cwas fortified.\u201d\u00a0Military officials later told CBS News\u00a0that the structure had no strong protection from the devastating overhead attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell denied CBS\u2019s reporting, claiming it was \u201cnot true.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CNN also reported that before the deadly drone strike in Kuwait, no siren or warning went off alerting troops to take cover. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
