They are part of a realignment of U.S. forces in the Asia-Pacific that is broadly meant to face an increasingly assertive China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bodies of the three Marines remained at the crash site, where an exclusion zone would be maintained, Northern Territory Police Commissioner Michael Murphy said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cause of the crash had yet to be explained and investigators would remain at the site for at least 10 days, Murphy said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Osprey, a hybrid aircraft that takes off and lands like a helicopter but during flight can tilt its propellers forward and cruise much faster like an airplane, crashed into tropical forest and burst into flame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before Sunday, there had been five fatal crashes of Marine Ospreys since 2012, causing a total of 16 deaths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The latest was in June 2022, when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinecorpstimes.com\/news\/your-marine-corps\/2022\/06\/09\/5-marines-dead-in-california-osprey-crash\/\" target=\"_blank\">five Marines died in a fiery crash<\/a> in a remote part of California east of San Diego. A crash investigation report in July found that the tragedy was caused by a mechanical failure related to a clutch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There had been 16 similar clutch problems with the Marine Ospreys in flight since 2012, the report found. But no problems have arisen since February when the Marine Corps began replacing a piece of equipment on the aircraft, the report said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Emergency responders were surprised the death toll from Sunday\u2019s crash was not higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFor a chopper that crashes and catches fire, to have 20 Marines that are surviving, I think that\u2019s an incredible outcome,\u201d Murphy said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Defense Minister Richard Marles was also grateful that the toll was not worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s remarkable that in many ways, so many have survived,\u201d Marles told Nine News television. \u201cThis remains a very tragic incident and the loss of those lives are keenly felt,\u201d Marles said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin paid tribute to dead Marines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThese Marines served our country with courage and pride, and my thoughts and prayers are with their families today, with the other troops who were injured in the crash, and with the entire USMC family,\u201d Austin tweeted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The U.S. Embassy in Australia issued a statement offering condolences to the families and friends of the dead Marines and thanking Australian responders for their help.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first five Marines to arrive at the city\u2019s main hospital
