A third U.S. service member believed to have been killed in Friday's attack on a base in Jordan has been identified as Sgt. Angel S. Rampersad, 28, of New York, the Pentagon said in a statement.

On Monday, the Pentagon identified 1st Lt. Tyler James Feehan, 25, of Ewa Beach, Hawaii, and Pvt. Isabella Gonzales, 19, of Carrollton, Texas, as the two other soldiers who were killed in an attack at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan. The soldiers were killed by Iranian ballistic missile and drone attacks in the first troop deaths from direct Iranian fire since the opening days of the war. They were deployed to support a U.S. mission against the Islamic State group, a U.S. Central Command statement said.

After the attack, U.S. Central Command announced that two service members were killed and another was missing. The following day, the military command said that troops found unidentified remains and that an examination process to verify the remains was underway.

Rampersad belonged to the same unit as Gonzales - the 10th Army Air   Missile Defense Command based in Ansbach, Germany.
