Future V Corps G3 operations chief killed during mission in Afghanistan
Future V Corps G3 operations chief killed during mission in Afghanistan
By Charlie Reed, Stars and Stripes
European edition, Friday, January 11, 2008

The Pentagon on Thursday identified one of two servicemembers killed in Laghar Juy, Afghanistan, earlier this week as Army Maj. Michael L. Green.

Serving as the convoy commander with an explosive-ordnance detachment, Green, 36, died of wounds suffered after his vehicle struck a roadside bomb Monday.

He was future operations chief at V Corps G3 Operations Center in Heidelberg, Germany.

He arrived in Afghanistan less than a month ago and was on his first mission when he was killed, said his mother, Jane Green, of Gautier, Miss.

Green was awarded the Bronze Star, a Purple Heart and the Combat Action badge posthumously.
