Statistics in the US Military seems to show that there is a 40 percent higher mortality rate for enlisted service men versus officers. There are exceptions to this finding. US Army lieutenants have a 19 percent higher Death Rate than all the rest of the US Army troops combined. It is also a known fact that a US Marine lieutenant is 11 percent more likely to be killed than the regular US Marine troops.

A bit unlikely... as with enlisted personnel, you'll have a lot of officers who may never leave the FOB, or may never even be deployed. And while a Colonel may be in the field with their troops, they won't be going house-to-house, kicking down doors with enlisted soldiers and junior officers.
