Mark Olson

Captain Mark Olson was a British Royal Air Force officer stationed in Kajaki Province, Afghanistan. He had one daughter.

During Day 9, Captain Olson and fellow officer Lieutenant Ben Wilkins were being transported back to their unit in a U.S. military convoy commanded by Major Shepherd from United States Air Force. When they arrived at their destination just before 12:00pm GMT, First Lieutenant Chris Tanner called Shepherd to warn that someone had taken control of his surveillance drone and was locking onto their armored vehicle. Seconds later, the drone fired a Hellfire missile, killing Olson and Wilkins instantly, along with two American officers, Hugh Gurney and Chris Lawson. ("Day 9: 11:00am-12:00pm")
