The soldier was part of a team of four who were conducting military drills in a large armoured vehicle when they disappeared near the city of Pabrade. The vehicle – a M88A2 Hercules – and the bodies of the other three soldiers were found in a peat bog on Monday. The search effort followed by the difficult mission to drag the vehicle out of the bog has involved hundreds of rescue workers from the US Army and Navy, as well as Lithuanian, Polish and Estonian Armed Forces, a statement said.
