The Army said Wednesday that four U.S. soldiers are missing in Lithuania.
The U.S. Army Europe and Africa said in a press release that the missing soldiers, part of the Army’s 1st Brigade, 3rd Infantry Division, are close to the Lithuanian city of Pabradė within a training area. The U.S. Army, Lithuanian Armed Forces and Lithuanian law enforcement are among those looking for the soldiers.
“I would like to personally thank the Lithuanian Armed Forces and first responders who quickly came to our aid in our search operations,” the commanding general of the V Corps, Lt. Gen. Charles Costanza, said in the release. “It’s this kind of teamwork and support that exemplifies the importance of our partnership and our humanity regardless of what flags we wear on our shoulders.”
