A 24-year-old airman from Richmond, N.H. was killed Friday in a non-combat related incident in Qatar, according to the US Department of Defense.
Air Force Staff sergeant Albert J. Miller died at the Al Udeid Air Base, the Defense Department said in a press release Saturday. The incident is under investigation.
Miller was assigned to the 736th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron at the Dover Air Force Base in Delaware.
He was supporting Operation Freedom’s Sentinel, which the Department of Defense has said is intended to provide assistance to Afghan security forces and to continue the United States’ “counterterrorism mission against the remnants of Al Qaeda.”
