Sept. 16 (UPI) -- A U.S. Special Forces member was killed in Afghanistan, NATO Resolute Support Afghanistan announced on Monday.
The U.S. Defense Department did not reveal the Green Beret member's identity but said he was killed in Wardak province while working with Afghan commando forces. The soldier's unit was not identified. The announcement was first made on Monday in a NATO press release.
The fallen soldier is the 17th U.S. service member to die in Afghanistan. It is the highest number of losses since 2014, when an end to U.S. combat operations in Afghanistan was announced. Over 80 U.S. military personnel have been injured or wounded this year.
