U.S. Africa Command announced the remains of one U.S. Army soldier WHO went missing during the African Lion 26 training exercise off the coast of Morocco have been recovered. The second U.S. service member remains unaccounted for after initial rescue attempts failed when one soldier fell into the water and others jumped in to assist. U.S. forces are coordinating with Moroccan authorities as the search and investigation continue, and the recovery and ongoing search affect U.S.-Morocco military cooperation and raise questions about safety during multinational maritime training.
