BERLIN (AP) — Five U.S. servicepeople were killed when a military helicopter crashed over the eastern Mediterranean Sea during a training mission, U.S. officials said Sunday.
The military's European Command said all five crew members on board were killed when the aircraft went down “during a routine air refueling mission as part of military training.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — A U.S. military[1] aircraft has gone down over the eastern Mediterranean Sea, U.S. European Command said Saturday.
Once a soldier, always a soldier. For warfighters fed, clothed, fueled and equipped by the Defense Logistics Agency, the odds are increasingly good that while that support changes shape as a service member crosses into veteran status, it endures.

BANGKOK — As Chinese missile testing in the waters around Taiwan grew increasingly aggressive in 1996, the U.S. sailed two aircraft carrier groups to the island that Beijing claims as its own, and China was forced to back down.
It employed a similar response to Hamas’ surprise attack on Israel a month ago, dispatching two carrier groups[1] to the eastern Mediterranean in a rapid and massive show of force meant to deter other countries or Iran-backed proxy groups such as Hezbollah from joining the fight.
