MND-N Soldiers attacked by small-arms fire (Diyala)

Multi-National Division – North PAO

TIKRIT, Iraq – Two Multi-National Division – North Soldiers were killed in a small-arms fire attack while conducting operations in Diyala province Jan. 3.

Additionally, one more MND-N Soldier was injured in the attack and evacuated to a Coalition Forces’ hospital.

The names of the deceased are being withheld pending next of kin notification and release by the Department of Defense.

From what I can piece together, Major Olmstead and my brother CAPT Thomas John Casey were the 2 soldiers killed in Diyala province yesterday. I can only assume that they took the lead when the team was ambushed, and are the true definition of heros. Tom was one hell of a brother/soldier/father/friend and I will miss him dearly. My condolences go out to Andrew’s family, we know exactly what you are going through-jjc

Major Andrew Olmsted and Captain Thomas Casey were both killed when we were ambushed. They both displayed tremendous courage under fire. I am proud to have served with them. They will be greatly missed. We were all blessed to have known them. They will always be my brothers in arms.Captain John Thompson
