An airman deployed in support of Operational Inherent Resolve died Monday as a result of non-combat injuries. The airman, whose name was withheld pending next of kin notification, was assigned to the 380th Air Expeditionary Wing at an undisclosed base in Southwest Asia, according to Air Forces Central Command. No additional details about the airman’s death were released.
Air Force Gen. Alexus G. Grynkewich assumed command of U.S. European Command on July 1, taking over the key assignment as the U.S. and its allies contend with a resurgent Russia and a grinding war in Ukraine.
