Remains of Specialist Mariyah Symone Collington, the second U.S. Army soldier missing during the Africa Lion exercises in Morocco, have been recovered and transported to Moulay El Hassan Military Hospital in Guelmim, ending a multinational search that deployed air, naval and AI assets and involved more than 1,000 personnel. Collington, 19, from Florida, served as an air-defense crewmember with the 5th Battalion, 4th Air Defense Artillery Regiment. Earlier, remains of 1st Lt Kendrick Lamont Key Jr. were recovered; the incident occurred during the joint exercise with partner nations ongoing since May 2.

Body of US Army Lieutenant Found after Morocco exercise disappearance

The body of 1st Lt Kendrick Lamont Key Jr., a 27-year-old U.S. Army artillery officer from Richmond, Virginia, was recovered by a Moroccan search team along the shoreline about a mile from where two soldiers disappeared during African Lion 2026 training in Morocco. The second missing soldier remains unaccounted for as US and Moroccan forces continue ground, air, and maritime searches. Key, who entered service in 2023 after studying marketing and business at Methodist University, earned an Army Achievement Medal and Army Service Ribbon. The Army grieves his loss and will repatriate his remains; it remains unclear whether Key was the first or second to fall into the ocean during the sunset-viewing hike that preceded the incident.

Search-and-rescue teams, including aircraft, drones, divers and vessels, have been scouring the area for days. Officials say the incident does not appear related to the AFRICOM-led Africa Lion exercise, which involves thousands from the U.S., African partners and NATO allies.

Soldier's Emotional Call to Mother After Being Captured

Ron Sherman, an Israeli soldier with Argentinian citizenship, was kidnapped by Hamas terrorists from his army base near the Gaza border on October 7. Sherman last spoke to his mother before the attack and sent her a WhatsApp message saying, "That's it, Mom, they're here, it's over, I love you." Later, videos emerged showing Sherman bound in the back of a Hamas pickup truck. He has asthma and requires an inhaler, and his duty in the IDF involves coordinating between Gaza businesses and the local authority.

Missing Texas Soldier Found Alive After Wife's Tragic Death

Missing soldier Craig Chamberlain has been found alive in Texas, days after his wife Cameron died under mysterious circumstances. Craig's mother confirmed his discovery but did not provide details about where he was found or why he disappeared. Craig's family had launched a massive search party for him after Cameron reported him missing on May 15. Virginia Chamberlain described her son's marriage with Cameron as being a "not very kind" one and suggested that his struggles with mental health and disdain for the leadership at Fort Cavazos may have contributed to his disappearance. It's unclear if the couple's relationship had an impact on Cameron's death.
