Sister of U.S. Service Member Killed in Iran: "I Still Don't Fully Think It's Real"
An Iranian drone strike at Kuwait's Shuaiba Port killed six U.S. Army Reserve logistics soldiers amid escalating regional conflict following U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran.
- A drone strike at the Port of Shuaiba in Kuwait on Sunday, March 1, 2026, killed 20-year-old West Des Moines, Iowa, resident Coady and 5 other U.S. Army Reserve logistics personnel.
- The attack came amid a campaign that began on Feb. 28 when the United States and Israel launched strikes, and Coady had been sending hourly updates as Iran launched retaliatory strikes.
- On March 3 the Pentagon identified several of the dead, naming Class Nicole M. Amor, Capt. Cody A. Khork and Class Noah L. Tietjens, and said two of the service members remain unidentified.
- Coady's family said he had been recommended for promotion and received the rank posthumously, and President Donald Trump said, "As one nation, we grieve for the true American patriots that made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation," warning more casualties are likely.
- The 103rd Expeditionary Sustainment Command, a logistics unit headquartered at the Fort Des Moines US Army Reserve Complex, provides food, fuel and transport support.
