Conde is the second service member to die this year while deployed in support of Operation Freedom's Sentinel.
Another soldier, Sgt. 1st Class Mihail Golin, was killed in action Jan. 1 in Nangarhar province, to the south of Kapisa. According to reports, Golin, of 2nd Battalion, 10th Special Forces Group (Airborne), died when his foot patrol was attacked by enemy small-arms fire.
To date, 48 U.S. troops have died since Operation Freedom's Sentinel began at the formal end of U.S. combat operations in Afghanistan in 2015, 32 of them in hostile encounters. Some 270 troops have been wounded in action.
Rest In Peace, Gabriel & Mihail & the 46 other brave soldiers who have died in Afghanistan since 2015.
May your families find some solace by realizing in their hearts that some of US are forever grateful for their sacrifice and are doing whatever we can to ensure that their lives were not taken in vain.
