Six US Army Reserve soldiers died in a suspected Iranian drone attack at Port Shuaiba, Kuwait, on 1 March 2026, in what lawmakers and survivors say was a preventable failure of force protection.
All six were members of the 103rd Sustainment Command based in Des Moines, Iowa, managing the movement of equipment, munitions, and personnel across the Middle East when an unmanned device struck the centre of their makeshift workspace.
