TSgt. Larry D. Bunn, 43, of Bossier City, La., died on March 7 as a result of a non-combat-related incident at an undisclosed base in Southwest Asia, announced the Defense Department on Monday. Bunn was assigned to Air Force Reserve Command’s 307th Maintenance Squadron at Barksdale AFB, La. He was supporting Operation Enduring Freedom.
A provision in the fiscal 2025 defense policy bill will require the Defense Department to include the military occupational specialty of service members who die by suicide in its annual report on suicide deaths, though it remains to be seen how much data the department will actually disclose.
