The remains of a U.S. Army soldier who went missing during military exercises in Morocco were recovered in the Atlantic Ocean, the army said Sunday. Officials said the soldier disappeared a week earlier during a recreational hike that was part of the training activities. Searchers are continuing to look for a second soldier who also went missing during the same incident.
The army confirmed the recovery in a statement Sunday, stating that the remains were found in the Atlantic Ocean. No further details about the circumstances of the disappearance or the recovery operation were immediately provided by the army.
According to officials cited by the Washington Times, the soldier went missing while on a recreational hike amid the broader military training exercises. The body was recovered by search teams, though the exact timeline and methods of the recovery were not disclosed.
The search for the second missing soldier remains ongoing. Officials have not released the identities of either soldier, pending notification of their families.
The military exercises in Morocco involve U.S. forces training alongside partner nations. The incident occurred approximately one week before the army's announcement on Sunday.
