Seven US Marines and four soldiers are presumed dead after an Army helicopter crashed during a night training exercise off the Florida coast.
The crash occurred in foggy conditions near Eglin Air Force Base in the Florida Panhandle.
Crews had found some human remains by Wednesday morning, but still considered it a search and rescue mission, Eglin AFB spokeswoman Michelle Stewart said.
A Pentagon official speaking to the AP news agency on condition of anonymity said all 11 service members were presumed dead.
Base officials said the Marines are part of a Camp Lejeune-based special operations group and the soldiers are from a Louisiana-based National Guard unit.
Military spokesman Andy Bourland said the UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter was reported missing at around 8:30pm on Tuesday local time.
Search and rescue crews found debris from the crash at around 2am on Wednesday.
The helicopter went down during a routine training mission on a beach between Pensacola and Destin.
The beach is owned by the military and used for test missions.
Officials said the helicopter had taken off from a nearby airport in Destin and joined other aircraft in the exercise.
