Which two soldiers died in the Kiowa helicopter incident at Kandahar on June 5, 2008?

• A. PFC Sammie Howell and CW4 James Carter
• B. Lt. Gen Arthur J Gregg and Major General Harry Dukes
• C. PFC Andre NcNair Jr. and PFC Sammie Howell
• D. CW4 James Carter and PFC Andre NcNair Jr.

Answer: (D)

The incident centers on a downing of an OH-58 Kiowa Warrior helicopter in Kandahar on June 5, 2008. Two service members were killed in that event: Chief Warrant Officer 4 James Carter and Private First Class Andre NcNair Jr. The Kiowa Warrior is a light observation helicopter whose job is to help with reconnaissance and security for ground operations; in dangerous environments like Kandahar, crews face hostile fire, which can lead to downing and casualties. The other names listed aren’t associated with this specific incident, so Carter and NcNair Jr. are the two who lost their lives in that event.
