The body of one of two US soldiers who went missing last week during a training exercise in Morocco has been recovered, the US Army announced on Sunday.
The army has identified the soldier as 27-year-old First Lieutenant Kendrick Lamont Key Jr, a platoon leader and air defence artillery officer from Richmond, Virginia.
A Moroccan military search team found Key's body in the water along the shoreline within about a mile of the cliffs where both soldiers went missing on 2 May.
US and Moroccan forces are using ground, air and maritime assets to continue their search for the other missing soldier.
Brigadier General Curtis King, commanding general of the 10th Army Air and Missile Defense Command, said in a statement that the army is mourning the loss of Key.
