The Air Force made the\u2063 announcement on Monday, shedding\u200c light \u2064on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/marines-order-stand-down-for-aviation-units-amid-search-for-missing-f-35\/\" title=\"Marines halt aviation units as search for missing F-35 continues.\">ongoing search operation<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The ill-fated CV-22 Osprey, carrying eight American personnel, crashed during a training mission near \u200bYakushima\u2062 island. \u200cWhile\u200d the body of one victim had been previously recovered and identified,\u200c the Air Force Special \u2063Operations Command revealed that two of the five newly located remains have been \u200brecovered, but their identities are yet to be determined.<\/p>\n<p>The search operation, conducted jointly by the U.S. and Japanese teams, is tirelessly working to recover the remains\u2062 of the \u200dthree remaining crew members from\u200c the wreckage. The command emphasized that the main priority is\u2063 to bring \u2063the Airmen home and provide support to their grieving families.<\/p>\n<p>The\u200c one confirmed victim has been identified as Air Force \u200dStaff \u2064Sgt. Jacob Galliher of Pittsfield, Massachusetts. The U.S. military expressed its deepest condolences to his\u2063 family and loved ones.<\/p>\n<p>The crash site, situated in waters approximately 100 feet deep, has become a focal point for investigation.

Witnesses reported seeing fire\u200d coming from one of the engines, but further examination is required to determine the exact reason \u2063behind the tragedy.<\/p>\n<p>Local fishing \u2063boats have played a crucial role in the search efforts, sacrificing their daily catch.
