It’s not clear...but likely if as Roggio seems to think that the Soldiers were from the 173rd Airborne Brigade.

Here's a story from WBIR in Knoxville TN about a local soldier who was killed.

If the fortifications were incomplete, some of the troop casualties could have been combat engineers who were there to beef things up.
