The sources contain no information about the speaker's unit, its gate, or any casualty count for a three-month period, so the claim cannot be checked. The passage is the claimant's own undated anecdote from a podcast, and the extraction's 'unit' is a slight reframing of the post's 'my gate'.
A guest makes this claim. Listeners heard it, so it counts against the post, and on the guest's own record.

Context. The only support for the claim is the podcast speaker's own account of a checkpoint and gate in Iraq, which cannot corroborate itself.
Context. The casualty sources cover national and coalition totals for the Iraq war (for example, Reuters, CRS and DoD tallies), not any individual unit's gate or three-month casualty count.[1][2][3][4]
Context. No source addresses checkpoint or gate casualties for a Civil Affairs or other unit in the period the speaker describes, so there is neither confirmation nor contradiction.
