The remains of the second missing U.S. Army soldier involved in a military exercise incident in Morocco have been recovered, bringing an end to a large multinational search operation.

The soldier was identified as Mariyah Symone Collington, a 19-year-old specialist from Tavares, Florida. According to United States Army Europe and Africa, her remains were transported by the Royal Moroccan Armed Forces to the morgue of Moulay El Hassan Military Hospital.

Collington served as an air and missile defense crewmember with Charlie Battery, 5th Battalion, 4th Air Defense Artillery Regiment, under the 10th Army Air and Missile Defense Command. She joined active duty in 2024 after completing training at Fort Sill and had recently been promoted to specialist on May 1, 2026.

Her recovery came days after authorities also recovered the remains of Kendrick Lamont Key Jr., a first lieutenant who disappeared alongside her. Officials said the two soldiers fell from a cliff during an off-duty recreational hike while participating in the annual African Lion military exercise.

The search effort reportedly involved more than 1,000 U.S. and Moroccan military and civilian personnel, supported by advanced technology including a Boeing P-8 Poseidon aircraft, drones, sonar systems, underwater vehicles, thermal sensors, and AI-assisted search tools. Investigations into the circumstances surrounding the incident are ongoing.
