by The Daily Caller December 22, 2023
The U.S. military recovered the bodies of three army soldiers from a downed helicopter in the Mediterranean Sea, the Navy confirmed on Thursday.
An Army MH–60 Black helicopter was performing routine operations over the Mediterranean Sea in November before experiencing an emergency onboard and suddenly crashing into the ocean, killing all five personnel onboard. A Navy dive team and Army aviation team located the helicopter and recovered the bodies and the aircraft itself, the Navy said in a press release on Thursday.
“The success of this mission can be attributed to highly trained Sailors, Soldiers, and civilians from the combined Army-Navy team who came together and displayed extreme skill to safely recover the helicopter,” Navy Cdr. John Kennedy said in a statement on Thursday. “Everyone onboard was humbled by the opportunity to play a small role in helping to bring closure to grieving families.”
