The U.S. Marine Corps has identified the four American service members killed when their Osprey crashed during a Friday NATO training exercise in Norway.
the men’s bodies were retrieved Sunday, after a weekend recovery mission complicated by strong winds, heavy rain and a risk of avalanches.
, it gathered 30,000 troops from 27 countries for land, sea and air drills in what NATO describes as “extreme and rugged surroundings, from frozen fjords to shivering seas to ice-encrusted mountains.”On Friday, Tomkiewicz, Reynolds, Speedy and Moore were aboard an Osprey, an aircraft capable of vertical takeoffs and landings that is mostly used to transport troops and equipment for amphibious assaults.
“I feared the worst, but hoped for a long time for better news,” Gen. Eirik Kristoffersen, Norwegian chief of defense, said in a statement.About three hours into the search, the wreckage of the Osprey was discovered from the air in Beiarn, a municipality south of Bodo. Amid treacherous weather, authorities arrived at the scene overnight and confirmed the deaths of the crew. Poor weather led crews to suspend recovery efforts Saturday; they resumed Sunday.
