The three airmen killed Jan. 7 by an improvised explosive device in the Baghdad area were TSgt. Timothy R. Weiner, 35, of Tamarac, Fla.; SrA. Elizabeth A. Loncki, 23, of New Castle, Del.; and SrA. Daniel B. Miller Jr., 24, from Galesburg, Ill. All three were explosive ordnance disposal airmen deployed to Iraq from Hill AFB, Utah. A Pentagon statement on Tuesday did not identify the fourth airman who was injured. A release from Hill Air Force Base noted that Weiner had entered the service in 1960; Loncki in 2003; and Miller in 2004. The base plans a memorial service on Jan. 12.
A massive contract to manage thousands of PCS moves failed because U.S. Transportation Command did not adequately oversee the results, according to the Government Accountability Office.
