Four US marines have been named after they were killed in a horror helicopter crash in Norway during a joint NATO-training exercise to practice defending Norway from an attack in cold weather.
The US Marines Corps named Captain Matthew J Tomkiewicz of Fort Wayne, Indiana; Captain Ross A Reynolds of Leominster, Massachusetts; Gunnery Sergeant James W Speedy of Cambridge, Ohio; and Corporal Jacob M Moore of Catlettsburg, Kentucky, as the four men who perished, as reported by NBC News.
Reuters reports the V-22B Osprey aircraft belonging to the US Marine Corps was taking part in Cold Response, a long-planned military exercise to practice defending Norwegian territory in cold-weather conditions in case of attack.
