There’s been yet another loss for Camp Pendleton-based Third Battalion, Fifth Marine Regiment.
Squad Leader Sgt. Jason Amores died Thursday in Helmand Province. According to the Marine Corps, Amores was killed by an IED.
The 29-year-old husband and father is from LeHigh Acres, Florida.
Amores is the 24th member of the 3/5 squad to lose his life during the effort to secure the Sangin District in Northeast Helmand Province in Afghanistan.
The 3/5 has seen many casualities since arriving in the province. Just this month, Jan.2, another Marine lost his life while fighting in the same location.
