The DoD has identified Lt. Col. Mark P. Phelan as one of the two soldiers killed in Mosul last Wednesday. Phelan was assigned to the Army Reserve's 416th Civil Affairs Battalion. I'd like to extend our deepest sympathies to his family and friends during this difficult time. Please check this entry for updates as we find additional information.
