He served as a Specialist with Company B, 1st Battalion, 67th Armor Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, based out of Fort Carson, Colorado. His unit was part of the broader U.S. military commitment under Operation Enduring Freedom.

According to the U.S. Department of Defense, Perkins died on May 17, 2014, in Amman, Jordan. The official release stated his death was the result of a non-combat incident. No further specifics regarding the circumstances were detailed in the initial public notification.

Operation Enduring Freedom was the official name for the U.S.-led global war on terrorism, initiated in October 2001 following the September 11 attacks. The conflict involved military operations in multiple countries, including Afghanistan, the Philippines, and the Horn of Africa. Perkins's death in Jordan, a key regional ally, highlights the geographically dispersed nature of the mission.
