The Army Saturday morning identified the five soldiers killed Thursday in a helicopter crash while on a
peacekeeping mission in the Sinai.
Capt. Seth Vernon Vandekamp, 31, from Katy, Texas, Chief Warrant Officer 3 Dallas Gearld Garza, 34, from Fayetteville, North Carolina, Chief Warrant Officer 2 Marwan Sameh Ghabour, 27, from Marlborough, Massachusetts, Staff Sgt. Kyle Robert McKee, 35, from Painesville, Ohio and Sgt. Jeremy Cain Sherman, 23, from Watseka, Illinois, were among seven killed when the helicopter crashed.
A French and Czech service member were also killed in the crash, officials said.
The Czech Republic’s military confirmed one of the fatalities of the Black Hawk’s crash was Czech Sgt. Maj. Michaela Ticha. French military officials identified lieutenant-colonel Sébastien Botta as the French casualty.
One U.S. service member was also injured in the crash, but has not been identified.
A defense official told Military Times on Thursday that there is “zero indication of malicious activity” involved in the crash.
An Egyptian official said the UH-60 Black Hawk was on a reconnaissance mission and crashed near the island of Tiran, apparently because of a technical failure. MFO officials said an investigation was underway but gave no further details.
