FORT BRAGG, N.C. — An Army Special Forces soldier based at Fort Bragg died in
western Afghanistan on Sunday during combat against enemy forces, the Pentagon
said Monday.
Sgt. 1st Class Pedro A. Munoz, 47, was fatally wounded late Saturday by
small-arms fire while his unit was conducting an offensive operation in Shindand,
Afghanistan. He died early Sunday during a medical evacuation from the scene,
the Army Special Operations Command said in a separate statement Monday.
Munoz served as an operations and intelligence sergeant assigned to 1st
Battalion, 7th Special Forces Group at Fort Bragg, the Special Operations
Command said.
A native of Quebradillas, Puerto Rico, Munoz joined the Army in February 1986.
He served in the Special Forces during operations in the first Gulf War.
In 1997 he was assigned to the Army’s exhibition parachute team, the Golden
Knights.
An Army spokeswoman, Maj. Elizabeth Robbins, said a report of the incident said
Munoz’ small Special Forces team was conducting a routine patrol when it came
under fire. He was listed as the only fatality of the engagement.
Munoz is survived by his wife, Gisela, and his daughter, Dalia.
