34 US troops killed in the first two weeks of the year
Two pilots died of injuries Jan. 13 when their OH-58D Kiowa helicopter went down in the city of Mosul just outside of Forward Operating Base Courage. The aircraft was conducting a combat air patrol with another OH-58D in an area where hostile fire was reported shortly before it went down. The aircrew’s wingman provided aerial cover while ground units from the 172nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team and the Iraqi police responded to the downed aircraft and cordoned off the area. This is the econd downed helicopter in the past two weeks.
