I’m wondering if anyone has broken down service members killed by branch of service - so many from the ANG, so many from regular Army, so many from the Marines, etc.

Also, is there any place that breaks down the number of troops in Southwest Asia by branch?

This site gives a lot of details about casualties, killed and wounded, including coalition casualties.

[http://icasualties.org/oif/](http://icasualties.org/oif/)

Under the Military Fatalities: By Month, you’ll find “View Fatality Names and Details” where you can filter by Branch. I haven’t looked closely enough to see if specific numbers are listed (as opposed to just counting all the National Guard, for instance), but there might be.

This is a Vietnam casualties database:

A quick sort and filter gave me this for the US Armed Forces:

USAF - 12  
US Air National Guard - 1  
US Army - 575  
US Army National Guard - 107  
US Army Reserve - 47  
US Coast Guard - 1  
USMC - 236  
USMC Reserve - 5  
US Navy - 12  
US Navy Reserve - 8

And two DoD employees, civilian:  
US Dept of the Air Force - 1  
US Dept of the Army - 2

That’s exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks much. 🙂
