The U.S. Army, the Lithuanian Armed Forces, Lithuanian police, and other officials worked together on the search and rescue mission. The exact events that caused the car to submerge are still being looked into. “We don’t know the details, but this is really bad news, and our thoughts are with families and loved ones,” said Mark Rutte, Secretary-General of NATO.

The accident took place at the General Silvestras Žukauskas Training Area in Pabradė, which is close to the border with Belarus. This building has been the site of several multinational training drills meant to make NATO partners’ troops ready.

According to the U.S. Army, an investigation has been started to find out what happened that caused the car to sink and the troops to die. The names of the deceased have not been released pending notification of their families. This tragedy underscores the inherent risks associated with military training exercises and highlights the importance of stringent safety protocols to protect service members.​
