The U.S. Army Special Operations Command on Monday released the name of a soldier killed over the weekend in southern Afghanistan.

"Chief Warrant Officer 2 Bruce E. Price, 37, died after being wounded on a combat patrol. His vehicle was struck by small-arms fire and rocket-propelled grenade fire, according to a USASOC release.

Price was an assistant detachment commander assigned to the 1st Battalion of the 3rd Special Forces Group at Fort Bragg. Elements of the group are deployed to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.

Afghan authorities have said they arrested two Taliban suspects in Saturday's attack.

Price is survived by his wife, Renate, and an 8-year-old son, Aidan. The Prices live in Gates Four. The family could not be reached for comment Monday night.

This was Price's third deployment to Afghanistan since 2002, according to the USASOC release.

Price enlisted in the Army in 1986 and served on several assignments, including an overseas tour in Germany and time in Kuwait. He completed the Special Forces Qualification Course in 1992 as a weapons sergeant and has been a warrant officer since 1998. The Green Beret also was an Army jumpmaster and U.S. Army Ranger.

Price's awards and decorations include the Bronze Star, the Purple Heart, the Joint Service Commendation Medal and the Army Commendation Medal, among others."
