The aircraft’s main use for the U.S. Marine Corps is the “transportation of troops, equipment and supplies from ships and land bases for combat assault and assault support,” according to the Navy. The aircraft, an MV-22B Osprey that belonged to the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, crashed at about 12:30 p.m. Pacific Standard Time near Glamis, Calif., more than 100 miles east of San Diego, the Marine Corps said in a statement on Thursday. All aboard the plane, an MV-22B Osprey that belonged to the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, crashed in a remote area east of San Diego, the U.S. Marine Corps said. In a statement on Wednesday, the Marine Corps said that, “contrary to initial reports, there was no nuclear material onboard the aircraft.” Five U.S. Marines were killed when a military aircraft crashed during a training mission in Southern California on Wednesday, the U.S. Marine Corps said.

Military officials have not said what led to the crash, which occurred Wednesday afternoon just north of the U.S.-Mexico border.

The aircraft takes off and lands vertically like a helicopter, and is capable of transitioning in midair to fly like a fixed-wing airplane. In 2014, an Osprey briefly lost power while flying over the Persian Gulf, resulting in one Marine fatality. It is used primarily to transport troops and equipment, and Marine Corps officials have touted the flexibility it provides. “While military service is inherently dangerous, the loss of life is always difficult,” Kampa said. In March, an Osprey crashed during NATO exercises in Norway, killing four American service members. “There was no nuclear material on board the aircraft,” Kampa said in a previous statement.

Five Marines aboard a MV-22B Osprey that crashed in Glamis, California Wednesday are dead, officials confirmed.

This was the second fatal military aircraft crash in the last week in California. Navy pilot Lt. Richard Bullock died during a training mission in Trona, California on Friday. On Wednesday, a Marine captain refuted an earlier rumor circulating on social media that falsely reported there was nuclear material on the aircraft. The aircraft was based in Camp Pendleton, in San Diego, officials said.

Everyone aboard Thursday's Navy helicopter crash survived, according to initial reports, a Navy official said.

But it appears every service member aboard the Navy helicopter that went down Thursday survived, according to Navy officials. Thursday’s crash comes after all five Marines aboard a MV-22B Osprey died Wednesday after that aircraft went down in a Southern California desert, military officials said. A second military aircraft in as many days crashed in the same area that a Marine MV-22B Osprey went down Wednesday.
