Here’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting:
- Two U.S. soldiers were reported missing in Morocco during the African Lion exercise. The search involved hundreds of personnel from the U.S., Morocco, and partner nations.[9]
- One of the missing soldiers was later identified as 1st Lt. Kendrick Lamont Key Jr. His body was recovered near Cap Draa along the Moroccan coast, about one mile from where the divers entered the water, and the search for the second soldier continued at that time.[3][7]
- Subsequent updates confirmed the remains of Lt. Key had been recovered, and authorities indicated the search for the second soldier would persist with continuing international cooperation.[7][3]
If you’d like, I can pull brief, up-to-date summaries from individual outlets or compile a timeline of events with exact dates and agencies involved. I can also provide a short map-style overview of the Cap Draa area and the search footprint if that would help. Would you like me to do that? (Citations: )[3][7][9]
