	(1) The DoD has confirmed the death of Marine Lance Corporal Ryan T. McCaughn, 19, of Manchester, New Hampshire, from enemy action in Al Anbar Province on Tuesday, November 7th. This agrees with the date cited in media articles ... and raises the question: is this a new death not previously reported by CENTCOM? Or did CENTCOM err on their date for this release? His unit, the 1st Battalion of the 6th Marines, was definitely attached to the 1st Brigade, 1st Armored Division operating out of Ramadi. At any rate, his death date will be changed to the 7th in our database.
