Chris Lawson

Lieutenant Chris Lawson was a U.S. Air Force officer stationed in Kajaki Province, Afghanistan.

During Day 9, Lt. Lawson's unit, commanded by Major Shepherd, was transporting two British RAF officers back to their unit. When they arrived at their destination just before 12:00pm GMT, Lt. Chris Tanner called Shepherd to warn that somebody had taken control of his surveillance drone and was locking onto their armored vehicle. Seconds later, the drone fired a Hellfire missile, killing Lawson instantly, along with the two British officers and Major Hugh Gurney. ("Day 9: 11:00am-12:00pm")
