The missing American soldiers' vehicle overwhelmed more than 16 feet in the peat bog while research continues

Lithuania rescuers died Thursday in a peat bog while trying to recover the overwhelmed vehicle from four American army soldiers who disappeared during a training exercise earlier this week.

The armored vehicle M88 Hercules was found more than 16 feet underwater Wednesday, one day after the disappearance of the soldiers during training with the Lithuanian armed forces and the police.

The US military said in a statement on Thursday that the research and resumption of soldiers, all of the 1st brigade, 3rd infantry division, were underway. The initial research involved hundreds of us and Lithuanian soldiers and the police who have traveled the thick and marshy terrains of the region, according to the press release, as well as for the Lithuanian military helicopters and the diving teams.

We take advantage of all the American and Lithuanian assets available to coordinate and provide the resources required for this effort, said major of the American army Curtis Taylor, the general commander of the 1st armored division, in the press release.

The recovery effort, which has been underway for 48 hours, required specialized equipment to pump water and the mud of the site and stabilize the surrounding ground in the surroundings, which will allow it to support the heavy equipment necessary to recover the vehicle.

Due to the field, it is an incredibly complex engineering effort, said Major Robin Bruce, an armored division engineer. The team explores each option available to speed up this process.

Lithuanian Prime Minister GintaUtas Paluckas expressed support for the rescue operation Thursday after visiting the training ground near the city of Pabrad, about 30 miles south of the Lithuanian capital, Vilnius, and 6 miles from the border with Bélarus.

Our thoughts and prayers are with their families and their brothers in arms, he said in an article on X.

He was joined on the scene by the Minister of Defense Dovil Akalian, who said that she was deeply saddened by the disappearance of the soldiers.

President Donald Trump told journalists on Wednesday evening that he had not been informed of missing soldiers.

Lithuania, a former Soviet Republic which is now in the European Union, has been a member of NATO since 2004. It has welcomed hundreds of American troops on a rotational basis since 2014 as part of an American operation called Atlantic Resolve in Eastern Europe and in the Baltic region, which began after Russia seized Ukraine Crimea.

The country shares a 421 mile border with Belarus, led by Alexander Lukashenko, who was sworn in for a seventh term on Tuesday and was called Europes Last Dictator. Lukashenko was a key ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, allowing him to use the Bélarus as a staging area for his invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
