Washington: The Pentagon said a new, separate category was created in its official casualty system to account for those killed and wounded in the renewed US-Iran fighting because "Operation Epic Fury," the military's name for combat operations against Tehran, has ended.
The Defence Casualty Analysis System, or DCAS, has removed the four soldiers killed and dozens of troops wounded in the latest exchange of fire from its official Iran war tally and placed them in a new category called "Overseas Operations."
