This is terrible…
Karoline Leavitt says 4 US Soldiers who went missing were just Confirmed Dead in Lithuania
She didn’t provide any details as to what happened… but here are the details.
• The four U.S. soldiers who died in Lithuania were members of the 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, based at Fort Stewart, Georgia.
• They went missing during a military training exercise on Tuesday, March 25, 2025, near Pabadre, Lithuania.
• The soldiers were reportedly operating an M88A2 Hercules, a heavy armored recovery vehicle designed to tow tanks, during a NATO training exercise.
• The vehicle became submerged in a swampy area under several meters of water, likely due to the challenging terrain.
• Three of the soldiers’ bodies were found inside the M88A2 when it was pulled from the swamp on Monday, March 31, 2025, reported by the U.S. Army.
• The search for the fourth soldier continued, with Lithuanian Army and emergency services assisting, including building a makeshift dam to aid recovery efforts.
—— By April 1, 2025, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte confirmed that all four soldiers had died.
• The exact cause of death has not been explicitly stated, but it’s believed they likely became trapped in the swamp, potentially leading to drowning, suffocation, or hypothermia.
• The soldiers’ identities have been withheld pending family notifications, per U.S. Army protocol.
