The remains of a U.S. Army Special Forces soldier killed in combat in Afghanistan earlier this week have been returned to the United States, arriving at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware on Christmas Day.

 

Sgt. 1st Class Michael Goble, 33, of Washington Township, N.J., was completing his final tour of duty when he was killed Monday in a roadside bombing.

 

A Bronze Star recipient who was in Afghanistan supporting Operation Freedom's Sentinel, Goble was assigned to 1st Battalion, 7th Special Forces Group (Airborne) at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, according to the Pentagon.

 

Goble was engaged in combat operations in Afghanistan's Kunduz Province and was set to return home in less than a month, Pentagon officials said. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack amid ongoing peace talks with the U.S.

 

On Wednesday, Goble's remains were flown via aircraft to the United States.
