Scobie, Drew Michael

Drew Michael Scobie was a 25-year-old sergeant from Kailua, Hawaii. He served in the U.S. Army National Guard as a member of Detachment 55, Operational Support Airlift Command, based at Wheeler Air Field on Oahu. His unit's mission involved operational support airlift, a critical logistics function for moving personnel and cargo.

Scobie died on January 10, 2014, at Bagram Airfield, the largest U.S. military base in Afghanistan at the time. The Pentagon announced his death as a result of a non-combat incident, providing no immediate further details. His death was recorded in the Defense Casualty Analysis System on the same day.

His death occurred during the final phase of Operation Enduring Freedom, the U.S.-led combat mission in Afghanistan that began in October 2001. By early 2014, U.S. forces were in a period of drawdown, transitioning security responsibilities to Afghan forces ahead of the mission's formal conclusion in December 2014.

Sergeant Scobie was one of thousands of U.S. service members who lost their lives during the conflict. His death is documented among the casualties of a war that spanned over thirteen years. The circumstances of the incident that led to his death were investigated by military authorities.

He is remembered on memorial walls and in casualty lists honoring those who died in Afghanistan. His home state of Hawaii has memorialized its fallen service members from the post-9/11 wars.

Operation Enduring Freedom, the U.S. combat mission in Afghanistan, concluded in December 2014. See the full roster of those killed in this conflict.

Among those documented in the same conflict: Andrews, Evander Earl, Edmunds, Jonn Joseph, Stonesifer, Kristofor Tif, Davis, Bryant Leroy.
