Best Answer

Your question can be interpreted two ways. First, if you are referring to soldiers as all military personnel (to include Army, Army Air Corps, Navy and Marines) the answer according to the Department of Defense is 291,557 killed in action with an additional 113,842 deaths from "other causes," for a total of 405,399 military deaths. Or, if you mean soldiers (US Army personnel), there were 234,874 killed in action with an additional 83,400 deaths from "other causes," totalling 318,274. This information came from American War and Military Operations Casualties: Lists and Statistics, a report completed by Hannah Fischer, Knowledge Resources Group, updated July 13, 2005.
