Mann, Jason Daniel

Jason Daniel Mann was a 29-year-old First Lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps from Woodlynne, New Jersey. He was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 6th Marines, which was deployed as part of the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit from Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.

On July 17, 2008, Mann was killed during combat operations in the Garmsir district of Afghanistan's Helmand province. According to U.S. military reports, he died from wounds sustained while engaging enemy forces. His unit was part of a major coalition effort to clear Taliban fighters from the strategic southern region.

Mann's death occurred during Operation Enduring Freedom, the U.S.-led military campaign in Afghanistan that began in October 2001. By mid-2008, the conflict was marked by intense fighting in Helmand province, a Taliban stronghold and center of opium production, where U.S. and British forces conducted sustained counterinsurgency operations.

The Department of Defense announced his death on July 19, 2008. He was reportedly survived by his wife and other family members. His death was noted in local New Jersey media, which highlighted his service and the community's loss.

First Lieutenant Mann is memorialized on the Afghanistan War Memorial at the New Jersey Vietnam Veterans' Memorial Foundation and is listed among the 2,356 American service members who died during Operation Enduring Freedom. His battalion continued operations in Helmand for several more months before returning to the United States.
