Moroccan rescue teams have recovered the body of a US soldier who went missing near a cliff during a military training exercise in Cap Draa, the US Army said on Sunday.
The soldier was identified as First Lieutenant Kendrick Lamont Key Jr., a platoon leader in an artillery unit, according to Reuters.
Rescuers discovered his remains in the water on Saturday, less than a mile from where he disappeared on May 2.
A second US service member involved in the same incident remains missing, and search operations are ongoing.
The two soldiers were participating in the African Lion military drills near Tan-Tan when they went missing on May 2, triggering a large-scale search-and-rescue operation involving US Africa Command and the Royal Moroccan Armed Forces.
African Lion, led by AFRICOM, is the largest annual joint military drill on the African continent, designed to strengthen coordination between US forces, NATO allies, and African partner nations.
This year’s event will take place in Ghana, Morocco, Senegal, and Tunisia from April 27 to May 8.
About 5,000 military personnel from over 40 countries are participating in the largest portion of the exercise, which is being conducted in Morocco.
To improve regional and international security preparedness, the exercises concentrate on cooperative all-domain operations, crisis response, and multinational coordination.
