How many Rangers were KIA during Panama?

Five Rangers were killed in action in Panama. Operation Just Cause in December 1989 saw the 75th Ranger Regiment conduct direct-action raids against key targets, often under intense combat conditions in urban and jungle environments. The Ranger losses during these engagements tally to five KIA, a figure repeatedly cited in Ranger history as the number of Ranger KIA in the Panama operation. This reflects the high-risk, high-pressure nature of these missions, where small, highly trained units operate to achieve critical objectives even in the face of strong resistance.
