The investigation will probably continue for several weeks into Monday's death in Afghanistan of a U.S. Army captain from Pennsylvania, an Army spokeswoman said today.

Capt. Jason B. Jones, of Orwigsburg in Schuylkill County, died Monday in Jalalabad, Afghanistan, of wounds received from small-arms fire, military authorities said Tuesday. He was 29.

Army spokeswoman Major Allison Aguilar said today the death is under investigation by the Special Operations Joint Task Force Afghanistan, a division-level headquarters that encompasses all NATO special operations forces and assets in Afghanistan.

"This is the type of an investigation that occurs anytime we have a death in theater, especially when it's in combat," Aguilar said.

Jones was assigned to 1st Battalion, 3rd Special Forces Group at Fort Bragg, N.C. He deployed in April to Afghanistan and previously served in Iraq.
