U.S. lacks mechanism to accurately track troops wounded in Iraq

American Count

D ates and sources of Americans killed in Iraq since 5/1/03 are documented in this file. Admittedly the file is incomplete, for the Department of Defense does not maintain old records. All data was compiled from https://www.defense.gov. If something is amiss in the data collection, please contact Margaret Griffis.

Iraqi Civilian Count

W e maintain a daily count based on news reports. It is not intended to be complete. There is no agency that keeps track of accurate numbers of Iraqis killed. JustForeignPolicy maintained a running estimate based on the Lancet study with the rate of increase derived from the Iraq Body Count. When that project was ended in 2011, the count was 1.45 million Iraqi deaths.
