Three of the four soldiers missing in Lithuania were found dead after their vehicle became submerged in a swamp during a training exercise, the U.S. Army in Europe and Africa announced Monday.

U.S. and Lithuanian recovery crews excavated the crew’s M88 Hercules recovery vehicle from the peat bog, finding the bodies of three soldiers, with the fourth soldier still unaccounted for, according to a statement from the Army. The operation is still ongoing as challenges persist due to the unstable ground near the site of the accident, only reaching and removing the vehicle after six days of digging.

“The Soldiers we have lost in this tragedy were not just Soldiers – they were a part of our family. Our hearts are heavy with a sorrow that echoes across the whole Marne Division, both forward and at home,” Maj. Gen. Christopher Norrie, 3rd Infantry Division commanding general, said in the statement. “We stand in grief with the families and loved ones of these extraordinary ‘Dogface Soldiers’ during this unimaginable time. But the search isn’t finished until everyone is home. Words cannot express our gratitude to those still working around the clock during these extensive search and recovery efforts and your unwavering commitment not to rest until all are found.”

The Hercules is designed to retrieve downed and damaged vehicles while conducting repairs under fire, weighing over 140,000 pounds. The soldiers, members of the 1st Brigade, 3rd Infantry Division of the Army, were based out of Fort Stewart, Georgia, before their deployment to Lithuanian as part of Operation Atlantic Resolve.

The cause of the accident is still under investigation by Army and Lithuanian authorities, according to the statement.

“We will never forget the dedication, commitment and teamwork that enabled us to recover our Soldiers and provide closure for their families. We are truly stronger together,” Col. James Armstrong, 1st Armored Brigade commander said in the statement.

The U.S. Army in Europe and Africa did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.
