Two US Service Members Missing After Morocco Exercises
Two U.S. service members are currently missing in southwestern Morocco following participation in the annual multinational African Lion military exercises. A search and rescue operation, involving the U.S., Morocco, and other participating nations, has been initiated. The incident occurred near the Cap Draa Training Area, a mountainous desert region close to the Atlantic Ocean. The African Lion exercise, the largest U.S. annual joint military exercise on the continent, involves over 7,000 personnel from more than 30 nations across four countries.
