Comprehensive data on U.S. military deaths from the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812 through Operation Iraqi Freedom were presented in a recently updated report (pdf) from the Congressional Research Service.
“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 casualties among American military personnel serving in principal wars and combat actions.”
For the more recent military actions beginning with the Korean War, information on specific cause of death and demographic data are provided.
The Congressional Research Service does not make its publications directly available to the public. A copy of the report was obtained by Secrecy News.
