The Army identified four soldiers who were killed last week in a helicopter crash near Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington state during a routine flight training.
The MH-60 Black Hawk helicopter crashed at about 9 p.m. Wednesday near the base in Thurston County, Wash., The Hill news outlet reported.
On Monday, Army Special Operations Command identified the deceased soldiers as chief warrant officers Andrew Cully, 35, and Andrew Kraus, 39, and sergeants Donavon Scott, 24, and Jadalyn Good, 23.
He also said those who died "embodied the unwavering dedication, selflessness, and excellence that define the very spirit of the Army and Army Special Operations."
The Thurston County sheriff’s office, based in Olympia, said Wednesday that deputies were dispatched following reports of a possible helicopter crash in the Summit Lake area, west of Olympia.
