They've been identified as Marines operating south of Erbil, on a "mission to eliminate an ISIS terrorist stronghold in a mountainous area of north central Iraq," according to a statement from Combined Joint Task Force – Operation Inherent Resolve.

"On the evening of March 8, the U.S.-led Coalition launched additional forces to recover two U.S. service members from the southern Makhmur Mountains in Iraq, approximately 60 km south of Erbil," Col. Myles B. Caggins III said.

"The purpose of the mission was to eliminate ISIS safe-havens in a cave complex in the Makhmur Mountains," Caggins told Marine Corps Times. "The Makhmur Mountains are historically known to be an ISIS safe haven. However, there is no safe place for ISIS to hide," he added.

In the rugged and enemy-filled area it was apparently was difficult to recovered the fallen Marines' bodies – Col. Caggins indicated it took six hours to do so.
