TL;DR Summary

Soldiers from the 103rd Sustainment Command say a request for more medical personnel and supplies weeks before Iran’s attack on their Kuwait command post was ignored, contributing to deaths and injuries (six killed, about 20 wounded). Survivors describe a lack of on-site medical resources, no rehearsals for mass casualty events, and the need to improvise care, while the Pentagon says steps were taken to protect troops and an investigation is ongoing.
