Rampersad was serving with the 1st Battalion, 57th Air Defense Artillery Regiment in Germany after enlisting in the U.S. Army in 2019. She died alongside Pvt. Isabella Gonzales, 19, of Texas, and 1st Lt. Tyler James Feehan, 25, of Hawaii, during the attack on the military facility.
Media reports have linked the assault to Iranian missiles and drones, which targeted the Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan. The deaths have drawn official condolences from military leadership, with Brig. Gen. Glenn Henke expressing heartfelt sympathies to Rampersad’s family and her unit.
The recent casualties include the three soldiers killed in the Jordan attack and Sgt. Michael Swinton, who died in a separate incident in Iraq. All four service members will receive a dignified transfer ceremony at Dover Air Force Base on Wednesday.
The identification of Sgt. Angel Rampersad marks another significant loss for the U.S. military as casualties continue to rise amid the ongoing Iran conflict. Her service with the 1st Battalion, 57th Air Defense Artillery Regiment and the sacrifices of the other fallen soldiers underscore the growing impact of the conflict on U.S. forces deployed overseas.
