The Defense Department on Thursday night released the name of the soldier who was killed this week in Afghanistan.
Staff Sgt. Aaron Butler, 27, died Wednesday in Nangarhar Province, Afghanistan, from wounds he suffered when an improvised explosive device exploded during combat operations.
The incident is under investigation.
Butler, of Monticello, Utah, was a Special Forces soldier assigned to the Utah National Guard’s B Company, 1st Battalion, 19th Special Forces Group.
Butler had been a member of the Utah Guard since 2008. He deployed to Afghanistan in April.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends at this difficult time.
