A U.S. Army unit's request for more medical support weeks before an Iranian attack was ignored, leading to the death of a soldier who was injured and could have been saved, according to a new report.

CBS News noted that the command post in Kuwait made the request several weeks before an Iranian attack on the position. According to the network, survivors of the attack said that at least one soldier who was injured could have been saved had there been adequate medical resources on site.
