美国国防官员周一对哥伦比亚广播公司新闻表示,在摩洛哥失联的两名美军士兵中,有一人跳水试图营救另一名失联士兵。

这两名美国陆军士兵上周末在摩洛哥南部海岸附近大西洋水域失联,截至周一搜救工作仍在进行。两人属于一年一度的“非洲狮”联合军事演习部队,但目前认为此次事件与演习无关。

根据初步调查报告,当时一组士兵前往一处地点观赏日落,一名士兵失足落水。一名国防官员此前告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻,最后被发现的士兵位置靠近德拉角训练区附近的海崖。

官员们称,第一名士兵落水后,附近的士兵尝试用腰带组成人链进行救援,但未能成功。随后另一名士兵跳入水中营救这名 reportedly 不会游泳的士兵,但这名拟议中的救援者随即被海浪冲走。

报告显示,两名士兵都难以返回岸边,于是第三名士兵跳入水中。第三名士兵未能救下另外两人,但自己成功安全返回岸上。

过去三天来,多架飞机、无人机、潜水员和船只一直在摩洛哥南部海岸搜寻这两名失联美军士兵。

“非洲狮”是美国非洲司令部(AFRICOM)牵头的最大规模年度联合军事演习,美国国防部下辖11个一体化作战司令部之一。该演习集结来自美国、非洲伙伴国和北约盟国的数千名士兵,在陆、海、空、网络和太空领域开展现代化战争训练。

参与年度演习的士兵与来自30多个国家的7000多名士兵一同驻扎在一处基地内。

One of the two American service members missing in Morocco jumped into the water to try to save the other missing soldier, defense officials told CBS News on Monday.

Search and rescue efforts were still underway as of Monday after the two U.S. Army soldiers went missing in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean off Morocco’s southern coast over the weekend. The soldiers were part of an annual training exercise known as African Lion, although the incident is not believed to be related to the exercise.

According to a preliminary report, a group of service members was on a hike to watch the sunset when a soldier fell into the water. A defense official previously told CBS News the soldiers were last seen near ocean cliffs near the Cap Draa Training Area.

When the first soldier fell into the water, the nearby service members attempted a rescue by forming a human chain with their belts, but were unsuccessful, the officials said. Another soldier then jumped in to save the service member, who was known not to be able to swim, but the would-be rescuer was immediately hit by a wave, the report indicates.

Both soldiers were having trouble getting back to shore, so a third jumped in. That third soldier wasn’t able to save the other two but was able to make it back safely on their own, the officials said.

Multiple aircraft, drones, divers and vessels have been searching along Morocco’s southern coast for the last three days for the two missing U.S. soldiers.

African Lion is the largest annual joint military exercise led by AFRICOM, one of the U.S. Department of Defense’s 11 unified combatant commands. It brings together thousands of troops from the United States, African partner nations and NATO allies to train for modern warfare across land, air, sea, cyber and space domains.

The soldiers were stationed at a base along with more than 7,000 service members from over 30 countries for the annual exercises.
