According to the report, the Pentagon’s Defense Casualty Analysis System has removed these four soldiers from the list of war casualties. Additionally, names of dozens of injured personnel have also been deleted.

Associated Press reports a new category ‘Overseas Operations’ has been added, where these four soldiers’ names are listed. It also mentions 207 injured personnel.
