The soldiers were part of an annual training exercise known as African Lion, although the incident is not believed to be related to the exercise.<\/p>\n<p>According to a preliminary report, a group of service members was on a hike to watch the sunset when a soldier fell into the water. A defense official previously told CBS News the soldiers were last seen near ocean cliffs near the Cap Draa Training Area.  <\/p>\n<p>When the first soldier fell into the water, the nearby service members attempted a rescue by forming a human chain with their belts, but were unsuccessful, the officials said. Another soldier then jumped in to save the service member, who was known not to be able to swim, but the would-be rescuer was immediately hit by a wave, the report indicates.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Both soldiers were having trouble getting back to shore, so a third jumped in. That third soldier wasn&#8217;t able to save the other two but was able to make it back safely on their own, the officials said.<\/p>\n<p>Multiple aircraft, drones, divers and vessels have been searching along Morocco&#8217;s southern coast for the last three days for the two missing U.S. soldiers.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/05\/03\/6c7b1bab-4d56-4c8f-94b8-ef806ce1999a\/thumbnail\/620x349\/a24593a482c4f5b7c53462853c77a437\/drone-sequence-mov-00-10-01-00-still001.jpg#\" alt=\"drone-sequence-mov-00-10-01-00-still001.jpg \" height=\"349\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/05\/03\/6c7b1bab-4d56-4c8f-94b8-ef806ce1999a\/thumbnail\/620x349\/a24593a482c4f5b7c53462853c77a437\/drone-sequence-mov-00-10-01-00-still001.jpg 1x, https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/05\/03\/6c7b1bab-4d56-4c8f-94b8-ef806ce1999a\/thumbnail\/1240x698\/c8d544baed39073047ca09617ea04162\/drone-sequence-mov-00-10-01-00-still001.jpg 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">The Cap Draa Training Area in Morocco.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                CBS News<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>African Lion is the largest annual joint military exercise led by AFRICOM, one of the U.S. Department of Defense&#8217;s 11 unified combatant commands.
