Since , the Rangers have suffered combat casualties, with eight percent of these soldiers dying as a result. For other troops, that number is nearly six percent. Cameron A. Meddock , 26, was fatally wounded by small-arms gunfire Jan. Despite the loss, investigators praised the surgical team that medically evacuated Meddock from the battlefield and kept him from succumbing to his wounds on three occasions when his pulse dropped mid-flight.
The challenging procedure prevented Meddock from experiencing another dangerous drop in blood pressure during the flight to Bagram Airfield. During the raid itself, Meddock was assigned to a quick reaction force.
The Rangers departed Bagram on the night of Jan. The QRF also was tasked to pursue a group of six people who ran meters northwest of the target compound. The group of six appeared to be hiding between a tree and the steep banks of a river. After the callout, the QRF soldiers began walking toward the six Afghans, only to be met by gunfire that ultimately struck Meddock in his head.
The Rangers returned fire and called in a danger-close fire mission, though the type of munitions used were redacted in the investigation.
