Senate Democrats Press Pentagon Over Medical Care for Troops Wounded in Kuwait Drone Strike
Senate Democrats, led by Sen. Elizabeth Warren, are pressing the Pentagon for answers about medical care provided to service members wounded in the March 1 drone strike at Port Shuaiba, Kuwait. In a July 29 letter to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, 13 lawmakers requested responses by Aug. 12 to 23 questions concerning medical care, casualty reporting, force protection, and ongoing investigations. The lawmakers say the Pentagon has not fully responded to an April inquiry and has not provided the Army's investigative findings. The letter cites reports that soldiers' requests for additional medical personnel before the attack were ignored, that some wounded troops drove themselves to a hospital, and that about two dozen service members were not evacuated to Germany until nine days later. Some troops reportedly waited weeks after returning to Fort Hood for traumatic brain injury evaluations. The attack killed six U.S. service members and wounded more than 30 others.

The lawmakers are demanding the release of the Army's investigation into the attack and updates on force protection measures across the Middle East.
