Mariyah Symone Collington, 19, of Tavares, Florida. Collington served as an air and missile defense crewmember and was assigned to Charlie Battery, 5th Battalion, 4th Air Defense Artillery Regiment, 10th Army Air and Missile Defense Command, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.europeafrica.army.mil\/ArticleViewPressRelease\/Article\/4486141\/press-release-us-army-recovers-identifies-second-soldier-near-cap-draa-morocco\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.europeafrica.army.mil\/ArticleViewPressRelease\/Article\/4486141\/press-release-us-army-recovers-identifies-second-soldier-near-cap-draa-morocco\/\">according to an Army release<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The recovery ends an 11-day search effort for Collington and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2026\/05\/11\/remains-of-missing-soldier-found-off-the-coast-of-morocco\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2026\/05\/11\/remains-of-missing-soldier-found-off-the-coast-of-morocco\/\">1st Lt. Kendrick Lamont Key Jr.<\/a>, of Richmond, Virginia, after the soldiers entered the ocean on May 2 near the Cap Draa Training Area during a joint <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2025\/05\/27\/us-military-changes-tone-in-africa-urges-burden-sharing-among-allies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2025\/05\/27\/us-military-changes-tone-in-africa-urges-burden-sharing-among-allies\/\">military<\/a> exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to reports, one of the soldiers fell into the water during a hike along the oceanside cliffs after training that day had concluded. The other soldier purportedly jumped in to help, and initial rescue efforts for both failed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On May 9, Key Jr. was recovered in the water approximately one mile from where both soldiers reportedly entered the ocean. The Royal Moroccan Armed Forces moved his remains by helicopter to Moulay El Hassan Military Hospital in Guelmim, Morocco, and the Army said plans are in motion to repatriate his body. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since May 2, more than 1,000 U.S. and Moroccan military and civil personnel participated in the search for the two soldiers, with Collington located and retrieved from a coastal cave roughly 1,600 feet from where the pair reportedly entered the ocean. According to the release, \u201cchallenging ocean conditions, coastal terrain and the cave\u2019s accessibility complicated search and recovery operations throughout the effort.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSpc. Collington was an outstanding soldier whose unwavering enthusiasm and positive spirit uplifted every environment she entered,\u201d Capt. Spencer Grider, commander of Charlie Battery, 5-4 ADAR, said in the release. \u201cHer infectious energy, whether in the office, in the field or among her peers, fostered connection and camaraderie, bringing people together through her genuine warmth and heartfelt sense of humor. Her presence will be greatly missed across our formation.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The soldiers were involved in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2025\/05\/27\/us-military-changes-tone-in-africa-urges-burden-sharing-among-allies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2025\/05\/27\/us-military-changes-tone-in-africa-urges-burden-sharing-among-allies\/\">African Lion<\/a> 26, U.S. Africa Command\u2019s largest annual joint exercise, which involved over 40 countries and this year spanned across Ghana, Morocco, Senegal and Tunisia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The incident remains under investigation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Army identified the remains of Spc.
