All five U.S. Marines aboard a MV-22B Osprey were killed when the aircraft crashed near Glamis, California, on Wednesday, a U.S. Marine Corps spokesman confirmed Thursday.
"We mourn the loss of our Marines in this tragic mishap. Our hearts go out to their families and friends as they cope with this tragedy," Maj. Gen. Bradford J. Gering, commanding general of 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, said in a written statement.
As a matter of policy, the military was not immediately releasing the identities of the Marines killed until 24 hours after notifying next-of-kin.
