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 and Operation Enduring
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 Persian
Gulf War, 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 fournine 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 9-11 provide statistics on casualties during Operation Enduring Freedom
(OEF), which began on October 7, 2001, and is ongoing. Table 9 provides statistics
on total casualties broken down by casualty type. Tables 10 and 11 provide statistics
on deaths and casualties, respectively, broken down by demographics. Inclusive
dates are October 7, 2001, to present. Casualties include servicemember deaths in
or around Afghanistan, Republic of the Philippines, Southwest Asia, and other
locations. However, virtually all OEF casualties have been incurred in Afghanistan.
These statistics may be revised as circumstances are investigated and as all records
are processed through the U.S. military system. Daily casualty summaries are
available at DOD’s website at [http://www.defenselink.mil/news/]; click on “OIF/
OEF Casualty Update.”
