“Four Marines assigned to 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing, II Marine Expeditionary Force are currently listed on Duty Status Whereabouts Unknown after an aircraft accident involving an MV-22B Osprey during a training mission in support of Exercise Cold Response 2022 near Bodo, Norway,” 1st Lt. Jacob Sugg of the Marines said in an email to The Post on Saturday.

Friday’s training mission crash is being investigated by US and Norwegian authorities.
