Three U.S. special operations soldiers from the Army’s 3rd Battalion, 5th Special Forces Group at Ft. Campbell, Ky., were accidentally killed Wednesday by an American bomb near Kandahar, Afghanistan:

Master Sgt. Jefferson Donald Davis, 39, of Watauga, Tenn.

Sgt. 1st Class Daniel Henry Petithory, 32, of Cheshire, Mass.

Staff Sgt. Brian Cody Prosser, 28, of Frazier Park, Calif.

These Americans died earlier in the campaign:

Master Sgt. Evander Earl Andrews, 36, 366th Air Force Civil Engineer Squadron. Died Oct. 10 in a heavy-equipment accident at an air base in Qatar.

Spc. Jonn J. Edmunds, 20, Army Ranger. Died Oct. 20 when his Black Hawk helicopter crashed in Pakistan as U.S. troops launched their first ground operations in neighboring Afghanistan.

Pfc. Kristofor T. Stonesifer, 28, Army Ranger. Died Oct. 20 with Edmunds.

Bryant L. Davis, 20, a Navy machinist’s mate fireman apprentice. Declared dead Nov. 10 after he fell overboard from the carrier Kitty Hawk in the Arabian Sea.

Johnny “Mike” Spann, 32, CIA officer. Died Nov. 25 during a prison uprising near the northern Afghan city of Mazar-i-Sharif.

An unnamed U.S. soldier died Nov. 28 in Uzbekistan in an incident that “was not the result of enemy action,” the Pentagon said. A senior defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the soldier died as a result of a gunshot wound that might have been self-inflicted.
