The U.S. Army has completed its investigation into the March 1 Iranian drone attack that killed six American soldiers at the Port of Shuaiba in Kuwait. Gold Star families are scheduled to receive a briefing on the findings Thursday.
The strike, the deadliest on U.S. troops in the Iran War to date, targeted a tactical operations center. Survivors have previously described the unit as "unprepared" and lacking drone defense, contradicting Pentagon statements that the facility was fortified.
Witnesses told CBS News there were multiple force protection warnings before the unit's move to Shuaiba. They claimed leaders had intelligence showing Iran was targeting the location.
"We moved closer to Iran, to a deeply unsafe area that was a known target," one senior official said anonymously.
Soldiers have also lodged complaints against commanders of the Iowa-based 103rd Sustainment Command, blaming them for ordering the deployment despite known risks. A complaint shared with CBS News alleges leadership "disregarded" intelligence briefings.
