A rescue mission following the crash of a U.S. Army helicopter this week has become a recovery operation.
Wreckage of the Army Black Hawk helicopter was found in about 25 feet of water, and human remains were retrieved, ABC Action News in Tampa, Fla. reported. Adverse weather hampered the search.
Debris from the crash was found at about 2 a.m. Wednesday on a beach between Pensacola and Destin.
The military is providing few details about the crash, according to the Associated Press. It occurred at 8:30 p.m. ET Tuesday, and it is believed visibility-hampering fog may have played a role.
Seven Marines and four soldiers were aboard one of two UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters participating in a routine training mission which went down off the coast. Identities of the soldiers on board have not been released.
The Marines were from a special operations regiment out of Camp LeJeune in North Carolina. The helicopters and air crew were assigned to the Army National Guard unit out of Hammond, Louisiana.
