The identities of four out of six American troops killed in the Iran war have been released.

Capt. Cody Khork, 35, of Lakeland, Florida; Sgt. 1st Class Nicole Amor, 39, of White Bear Lake, Minnesota; Sgt. 1st Class Noah Tietjens, 42, of Bellevue, Nebraska; and Sgt. Declan Coady, 20, of Des Moines, Iowa, were U.S. Army Reserve soldiers assigned to the 103rd Sustainment Command based in Des Moines, Iowa.

They were killed in an Iranian drone strike in the Port of Shuaiba, Kuwait, on March 1. The incident is still under investigation.

“We honor our fallen Heroes, who served fearlessly and selflessly in defense of our nation. Their sacrifice, and the sacrifices of their families, will never be forgotten,” said Lt. Gen. Robert Harter, Chief of Army Reserve and Commanding General U.S. Army Reserve Command.

“On behalf of the Army Reserve, we express our heartfelt condolences to their families and loved ones,” he said in a release. “We remain steadfast in our commitment to honoring the legacy of our fallen and supporting their teammates and families during this difficult time.”

Six U.S. service members in total have been killed so far during Operation Epic Fury against the Islamic regime of Iran, the Pentagon said. The first three deaths were announced on March 1. The fourth death was announced on March 2 after the service member succumbed to injuries.

Later on March 2, U.S. Central Command announced that “U.S. forces recently recovered the remains of two previously unaccounted for service members from a facility that was struck during Iran’s initial attacks in the region.”

Khork enlisted in the National Guard in 2009 as a multiple launch rocket system and fire direction specialist. He was commissioned as a military police officer in the Army Reserve in 2014, and has earned several awards and decorations including the Meritorious Service Medal, the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, and the Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Service Medal. He completed deployments to Saudi Arabia in 2018, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, in 2021, and Poland in 2024.

Amor enlisted in the National Guard as an automated logistics specialist in 2005 before transferring to the Army Reserve in 2006. She earned the Army Commendation Medal and the Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Service Medal, among other medals and decorations. She previously deployed to Kuwait and Iraq in 2019.

Tietjens enlisted in the Army Reserve as a wheeled vehicle mechanic in 2006, and earned several medals, including the Meritorious Service Medal, the Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal, and the Iraq Campaign Medal.

“Susanne and I mourn the death of Nebraska hero Noah Tietjens. Noah died in Kuwait this weekend during Operation Epic Fury,” Sen. Pete Ricketts (R-NE) said in a statement. “My heart and prayers are with the Tietjens family as they mourn the loss of their heroic son. May we always remember and honor the sacrifices made by Noah Tietjens and the Tietjens family.”

Coady enlisted in the Army Reserve in 2023 as an Army information technology specialist, and was posthumously promoted to a non-commissioned officer. His three decorations included the Army Service Ribbon, National Defense Service Ribbon, and the Overseas Service Ribbon.

“It is with deep sadness and unyielding grief that we acknowledge and recognize our Soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. Our Soldiers relentlessly, consistently, and fearlessly served with sincere dedication and pride,” said Brig. Gen. Clint A. Barnes, deputy commanding general, 1st Theater Sustainment Command, Operational Command Post.

“They were the ultimate ambassadors for freedom,” Barnes said. “They represent the best of what our country stands for. May God grant their families peace and comfort in their memories. We will never forget them.”
