The U.S. military says a soldier has died in a noncombat related incident while operating construction equipment in Jordan.
(FOX)- The service member was part of Operation Inherent Resolve, the U.S. military’s name for the campaign to drive Islamic State extremists out of Iraq and Syria.
Neighboring Jordan is a key Western ally in the battle against IS.
The Combined Joint Task Force-Operation Inherent Resolve said Sunday that the U.S. service member was killed a day earlier.
In October, a U.S. soldier was killed by a roadside bomb near the Iraqi city of Mosul. Two other U.S. soldiers were killed since then, one by an explosive device in northern Syria and another in a noncombat incident last week in Iraq.
