Today our hearts bear the weight of an unbearable pain with the loss of our final Dogface Soldier,\u201d said Maj. Gen. Christopher Norrie, 3rd Infantry Division commanding general, in a statement Tuesday. \u201cThough we have received some closure, the world is darker without them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army has not released the soldiers\u2019 names, pending confirmation of notification of next of kin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the time the soldiers were reported missing, they had been conducting a maintenance mission to recover another Army vehicle at a training area near Pabadre, U.S. Army Europe and Africa said in a release. The soldiers were deployed to Lithuania as part of Operation Atlantic Resolve, which has been sending rotations into Europe since Russia invaded the Crimea region of Ukraine in 2014.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The soldiers were permanently stationed at Fort Stewart, Georgia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The initial search for the soldiers included military helicopters, Lithuanian diving teams and hundreds of U.S. and Lithuanian soldiers and law enforcement officers looking through thick forests and swampy terrain. On March 26, search teams found the soldiers\u2019 vehicle 15 feet underwater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What followed was an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/2025\/03\/28\/navy-divers-polish-forces-to-aid-in-recovery-of-missing-us-soldiers\/\" target=\"_blank\">arduous, multiday effort<\/a> to get to the vehicle, which continued to sink and be encased in mud as time went on. Officials brought in engineers, tons of gravel, excavators and slurry pumps. The Polish Armed Forces volunteered a unit of 150 military engineers to help in the recovery. And over the weekend, a U.S. Navy dive crew from Commander, Task Force 68, headquartered in Rota, Spain, arrived on site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There was a breakthrough in the recovery effort Sunday when the Navy dive crew \u2014 after multiple failed attempts \u2014 attached steel cables to two of the hoist points on the M88A2 Hercules, the Army said. To get to the hoist points, divers maneuvered through layers of mud, clay and sediment, using a ground-penetrating radar provided by Lithuanian experts to find their way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two hours after the cables were attached, the vehicle was unearthed from the bog. By that time, the recovery team grew to include hundreds of personnel from multiple services and countries, the Army said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recovery operations continued Monday after the crews recovered the bodies of three of the soldiers. Recovery dogs and their handlers flew in from Estonia on Monday to assist in the search for the fourth soldier. Crews also employed two specialized drone systems, including one equipped with ground-penetrating radar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are incredibly relieved that we were able to bring this recovery to an end and bring closure to all the families, friends and teammates of our soldiers,\u201d said Maj. Gen. Curtis Taylor, commanding general of 1st Armored Division. \u201cWe cannot thank our Allies and fellow service members enough, especially the Lithuanians, who spared no resource in support of this mission. Together, we delivered on our promise to never leave a fallen comrade.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An investigation into the incident is ongoing, the Army said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
