Item 5 — the post-1975 test: Iraq and Afghanistan-era dead with a New Carlisle home of record

No serviceman or servicewoman who died in the Iraq or Afghanistan era carries a home of record of New Carlisle, Indiana, in the casualty record searched — and the search is printed so the zero can be audited.(1) The Indiana roll of the Iraq wars, compiled from the Defense record by hometown (Genealogy Trails, "Indiana Casualties in Iraq Wars"), was read whole for both operations — Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. It carries one St. Joseph County name: Ryan Andrew Balmer, Technical Sergeant, U.S. Air Force, died 5 June 2007, age 33, home town Mishawaka, St. Joseph County. He is the county's, and he is printed here at frame strength precisely so he is not mistaken for this town's: Mishawaka is not New Carlisle. No entry in either operation's Indiana list carries the home town New Carlisle. (2) The hometown-sorted Indiana casualty compilation drawn from the Defense Casualty Analysis System (159 Indiana dead in its count: 62 Afghanistan operations, 96 Iraq operations, 1 ISIS operations) was searched for the town's name; no New Carlisle hometown appears. Subject to those caveats, the finding stands whole: at DCAS-derived, hometown-attributed strength, the town's post-1975 war-dead roll is empty — Burch of Korea remains, as Wars & Military Service prints him, the last name on it, and the only unaccounted-for one.
