A 3rd Infantry Division soldier has died in Afghanistan, according to a Department of Defense release.
Chief Warrant Officer Curtis S. Reagan, 43, died March 29 in Kandahar from a non-combat-related illness. Reagan, a native of Summerville, S.C., was assigned to the 603rd Aviation Support Battalion, 3rd Combat Aviation Brigade, 3rd ID.
Reagan was the 3rd Infantry Division's ninth Afghanistan-related death in March and the seventh from 3rd CAB.
On March 11, a Fort Stewart soldier was killed in a firefight and five 3rd CAB soldiers were killed in a helicopter crash. On March 13, a Fort Stewart soldier died in Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., from wounds suffered in Afghanistan. And on March 16, a 3rd CAB soldier was killed in Kandahar.
Col. Allan Pepin, commander of Task Force Falcon in Afghanistan, paid tribute to Reagan and the other fallen 3rd CAB soldiers in a Monday post on 3rd CAB's Facebook page.
"(Reagan) will join our recent Heroes in peace, and we will stand tall through this hardship and honor our seven fallen warriors by continuing the mission, as they would demand," Pepin wrote. "Our mission here must continue as we pave the way for Afghan independence, and support our partners for a better future in Afghanistan. Their sacrifices in a time of war only strengthen our resolve."
