Hope in Somalia, Uphold Democracy in Haiti, and the ongoing Operation Enduring
Freedom (OEF) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF).
For the more recent conflicts, starting with the Korean War, more detailed
information on types of casualties, and, when available, demographics have been
included. This report also cites sources of published lists of military personnel killed
in principal wars and combat actions. This report will be updated as events warrant.

American War and Military Operations
Casualties: Lists and Statistics
Introduction
This report is written in response to numerous requests for war casualty statistics
and lists of war dead. It provides tables, compiled by sources at the Department of
Defense (DOD), indicating the number of fatalities and numbers of wounded among
American military personnel serving in principal wars and combat actions from the
Revolutionary War to the current Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Operation
Enduring Freedom (OEF) (operations in Afghanistan and related conflicts).
A review of the composite data reveals the following.
^!During the period between the Revolutionary War and the present,
it was the Civil War that produced the most American fatalities,
when Union statistics and Confederate estimates are taken into
account.
^!World War II was the first war in which there were more battle
deaths than deaths from other causes such as accidents, disease, and
infections.
^!With a total of 382 in-theater deaths, 147 of which were battle
deaths, the Persian Gulf War was the least costly in terms of
fatalities (see Table 1).
^!The ongoing Operation Iraqi Freedom to date has produced more
than ten times the number of in-theater deaths than the Persian Gulf
War (which lasted seven months).
The casualty statistics for wars long ended are updated periodically, sometimes
yearly. This almost always reflects the identification of remains of persons
previously listed as missing in action and those persons’ reclassification as dead.
Other reasons, much rarer, include the discovery of errors in casualty records for
individuals or categories of people.

Tables 13-16 provide statistics on casualties during Operation Iraqi Freedom,
which began on March 19, 2003, and is ongoing. Table 13 provides statistics on
total casualties by type. Tables 14 and 15 provide statistics on the demographics of
military deaths, divided between the period of major combat operations (March 19,
2003, through April 30, 2003) and the ongoing presence of U.S. forces in Iraq after
the end of major combat operations (May 1, 2003, through present). Table 16
provides statistics on the demographics of service members who have been wounded
in action. These statistics may be revised as circumstances are investigated and
records are processed through the U.S. military system. Daily casualty summaries
are available at DOD’s website at [http://www.defenselink.mil/news/casualty.pdf].

Sources of Statistics
The Department of Defense Directorate of Information, Operations, and Reports
(DIOR) provides detailed historical tables as well as annual statistics on active duty
military deaths at [http://siadapp.dmdc.osd.mil/personnel/CASUALTY/castop.htm].
The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) has published
statistics derived from its Southeast Asia Combat Area Casualties Current File. This
includes tables on Vietnam casualty data by branch of service, race, religion, state,
and other categories at [http://www.archives.gov/research/vietnam-war/casualty-
statistics.html].
Sources of Published Lists of Names of War Dead
The Congressional Research Service also receives requests for lists of the names
of war dead, often for use on memorials, tributes, or for other ceremonial purposes.
This report cites the following sources of published lists of U.S. military personnel
killed in major wars and other combat actions.
World War II
