Senator Tammy Baldwin has urged the Pentagon to publicly release its investigation into the Iranian attack on a U.S. military command post in Kuwait that killed six American service members and injured dozens.

According to the report, Baldwin requested that U.S. Central Command provide Congress with the full investigation, supporting documentation and any classified reviews, arguing that lawmakers and the public deserve greater transparency.

The report said the March 1 drone and missile strike occurred during heightened hostilities following Operation Epic Fury.

Although the Pentagon completed its monthslong investigation in July and briefed the families of the fallen troops, officials have not made the more than 350-page report public or assigned responsibility for any operational failures.

According to the report, several soldiers have questioned decisions made before the deployment, claiming commanders ignored intelligence indicating the location could be targeted and failed to adequately prepare the unit or provide requested medical supplies.

Some survivors also disputed earlier Pentagon statements about the attack, arguing the position lacked sufficient defensive protections.

The Defense Department has previously denied allegations that it downplayed injuries or ignored force protection concerns.
