Army Reports Rise in Suicides Will Likely Outnumber Combat Deaths

WASHINGTON - The Army is investigating a stunning number of suicides in January - a count that could surpass all combat deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan last month.
According to figures obtained by The Associated Press, there were 24 suspected suicides in January, compared to only four in January of 2008.

Yearly suicides have been rising steadily since 2004 amid increasing stress on the force from long and repeated tours of duty to America's two ongoing wars.

The alarming monthly count follows an annual report last week showing that soldiers killed themselves at the highest rate on record in 2008. The toll for all of last year - 128 confirmed and 15 pending investigation - was an increase for the fourth straight year and even surpassed the suicide rate among civilians.

"The trend and trajectory seen in January further heightens the seriousness and urgency that all of us must have in preventing suicides," Gen. Peter Chiarelli, Army vice chief of staff, said of the new monthly report Thursday.
