The soldiers have not been found, and efforts to reach the vehicle have been hampered by deep mud and water from a nearby lake.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A Lithuanian official involved in the rescue mission who was not authorized to speak publicly about the matter said tracks in the ground indicated that the American vehicle had veered off a sandy path toward a small pond and then turned abruptly into a wooded area that ended up being a swamp. It seemed to have sunk quickly, the person said, but it was unclear what happened to the crew.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cAlthough many skeptics would probably say that there is nothing to hope for in these circumstances, I want to hope,\u201d President Gitanas Nauseda of Lithuania said during a visit to the site on Friday. \u201cI am still hoping for a miracle,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The missing soldiers, from the First Brigade, Third Infantry Division, were training near Pabrade, a city in eastern Lithuania near the border with Belarus, a close ally of Russia and a stalwart supporter of Moscow\u2019s war in Ukraine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Both Belarus and Russia have frequently criticized Lithuania, a member of NATO that used to be part of the Soviet Union, for hosting American and other allied troops.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Amid rising alarm in Lithuania and other formerly communist countries in Eastern Europe that President Trump will weaken the NATO alliance, frantic joint efforts to recover the missing U.S. soldiers by Lithuanian and American rescue crews have showcased what Mr. Nauseda on Friday said was the value of allies acting together. Poland, Lithuania\u2019s neighbor and another member of NATO, has also sent military engineers to help.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cSuch minutes, such circumstances,\u201d the Lithuanian president said \u201conly confirm how strong we are when we are together, when we are in the NATO alliance and feel the support of our friends.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Trump and his senior officials <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/07\/world\/europe\/europe-self-defense-trump.html\" title=\"\">have made it clear in recent weeks<\/a> that the security of Europe is no longer the first priority of the United States, which wants to concentrate resources on its own border and the Indo-Pacific, where China has become a peer rival.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Trump suggested this month that <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/meet-the-press\/video\/trump-casts-doubt-on-nato-commitments-as-world-leaders-reconsider-sharing-intel-with-u-s-233691717720\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Washington might not protect<\/a> NATO members that he believed were not paying enough for their own defense, calling it \u201ccommon sense.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Whether the disaster in Lithuania will reinforce the administration\u2019s view that the United States is paying too high a price to defend Europe or help convince it that European allies are pulling their weight remains to be seen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The U.S. military, in a <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.europeafrica.army.mil\/ArticleViewPressRelease\/Article\/4136754\/press-release-recovery-efforts-continue-at-site-of-submerged-vehicle-in-search\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">statement issued<\/a> on Thursday, praised Lithuania for its efforts to find the missing soldiers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe are incredibly appreciative of the dedicated and professional efforts of our Lithuanian allies in ensuring the safety of U.S. personnel,\u201d said Maj. Gen. Curtis Taylor, the commanding general of First Armored Division. \u201cThey have worked tirelessly alongside us over the last 48 hours and we continue to be grateful for their support.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Also visiting the site on Friday was the United States ambassador to Lithuania, Kara C. McDonald, who praised Lithuania, which has rushed divers, military engineers and civilian rescue crews to find and work to extract the sunken American military vehicle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThis place is a symbol of our alliance and of working hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder, in the search for our missing soldiers,\u201d the ambassador said, describing Lithuania as an exemplary U.S. ally.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ms. McDonald said a team of American Army engineers had arrived on Thursday night and would be assisted in the rescue operation by Navy engineers who were expected to arrive on Friday afternoon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The submerged M88 Hercules, essentially a giant armored tow truck, disappeared on Tuesday after being sent to extract another Army vehicle that had become disabled during the training exercise, according to the military.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cDue to the terrain, this is an incredibly complex engineering effort,\u201d Maj. Robin Bruce, a 1st Armored Division engineer, said in the Army statement. Major Bruce added, \u201cThe team is exploring every available option to speed up this process.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Lithuania\u2019s defense minister, Dovil\u0117 Sakaliene, told local news media that the country\u2019s fire and rescue service had worked overnight to pump out water from the swamp but had not uncovered the vehicle, which she said was buried at least five yards beneath the surface. She added that a large dredger would join the effort later on Friday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async
