The OH-58 Kiowa observation helicopters went down in the southwest training area in the Thurston County section of the military installation. The Kiowa is generally a two seat aircraft used as a reconnaissance platform.The four aviators who were killed were the only persons onboard the copters at the time of the crash. Their names have not yet been released because Army officials are working to notify their next of kin.“Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family, friends and loved ones of the soldiers involved in this tragic accident,” said Maj. Gen. Lloyd Miles, acting senior Army commander at JBLM.An investigation has already begun by local authorities at JBLM but The Combat Readiness Center at Fort Rucker, Ala., will lead the overall investigation into the incident.
