Survivors of an Iranian drone strike that killed six U.S. soldiers in Kuwait on March 1 have told CBS News that the Army ignored their request for additional medical support weeks before the deadly attack.

The soldiers, who survived the strike on a U.S. command post, say they had specifically requested enhanced medical capabilities prior to the incident. According to the survivors, this request was denied or ignored by military leadership.

Some of the survivors believe that at least one of the six soldiers killed in the March 1 attack could have been saved if proper medical support had been in place. The survivors have criticized the Pentagon's overall response to both their initial request and the subsequent attack.

One soldier described the situation as "a failure" when speaking about the Pentagon's handling of the matter. The survivors are now speaking publicly about what they view as institutional failures that may have contributed to the casualties.

The attack targeted a U.S. military command post in Kuwait and represents part of ongoing tensions in the region. The survivors' accounts raise questions about military preparedness and the adequacy of medical support for deployed forces in potentially dangerous areas.
