The Pentagon has publicly released official figures regarding military casualties in 'Operation Epic Fury' for the first time. These figures have been added to the Defense Department's Defense Casualty Analysis System (DCAS), making the confirmation of casualties in this operation publicly available.
According to the Pentagon, 13 American soldiers have died and 365 have been injured in this joint military operation that began on February 28, 2026, under the orders of the U.S. President. This is the first time that official and verified details of casualties related to this operation have been disclosed.
The data recorded in the DCAS indicates that the injured soldiers come from various military branches, with the highest number being 247 from the U.S. Army, followed by 63 from the Navy, 36 from the Air Force, and 19 from the Marine Corps. 'Operation Epic Fury' was initiated on February 28 amid rising tensions with Iran.
However, limited information has been made public regarding the objectives of this operation and the ground situation. The release of official figures provides a clearer understanding of the actual severity of this conflict. Until now, only estimates had been made regarding casualties, but the situation has become clearer following the Pentagon's confirmation.
The DCAS is maintained by the Defense Manpower Data Center and presents verified data on soldiers killed for the Department of Defense. It serves as the official repository for the names of American personnel who have been killed, injured, missing, or otherwise harmed in military operations.
This system collects reports from different services to ensure that the figures released to the public are accurate and meet established standards. The database provides detailed information based on conflict, branch, type of casualty, and year, including definitions and explanatory notes for context.
