The Defense Department said the U.S. Army Reserve soldiers were among six service members who died when an Iranian strike hit a tactical operations center in Kuwait.
The Pentagon said the two soldiers died on Sunday, March 1, 2026, in a drone attack on a U.S. military facility in Port Shuaiba, Kuwait.
As reported by Reuters, this was contained in a statement issued on Wednesday, March 5, 2026.
According to the statement, 45-year-old Jeffrey O'Brien, of Iowa, was killed in the attack and the "believed death" of Chief Warrant Officer 3 Robert M. Marzan, 54, of Sacramento, California.
The Pentagon disclosed that the identification of Marzan will be completed by the medical examination.
It was gathered that O'Brien and Marzan served in the 103rd Sustainment Command from Des Moines, Iowa, part of the Army's global logistics and supply operation.
The announcement comes as the conflict intensifies, with U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth saying on Wednesday that the U.S. "can sustain this fight easily for as long as we need to."

Pentagon's heroes fallen in Iran's futile fury—deepest condolences from the entire world as we stand against tyranny.

Rest in peace, Major Jeffrey O’Brien and Chief Warrant Officer Robert Marzan. These brave reservists from the 103rd Sustainment Command were supporting critical logistics far from the front lines when tragedy struck. Their sacrifice highlights the real human cost of this rapidly escalating conflict—even in supposedly 'secure' rear areas.
