That's a key loss. There are only three Major billets in an infantry battalion: Executive Officer, S-3 Operations Officer and S-4 Logistics Officer. It is possible, though less likely, that he was attached to 3/5 in some supporting role.

What now? Battlefield promotions? Or are they going to shuffle?

He's not alone. One of our greatest generals bought it in a car accident before his mission was accomplished. Such a tragedy.

He will be missed.
Thanks for your service to this country Major Nave.
