According to its Twitter account, the Army’s I Corps was also involved in the search effort.

Yang was a platoon leader assigned to 513th Transportation Company, 13th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion, 593rd Expeditionary Sustainment Command, according to a news release from Joint Base Lewis-McChord.

The incident is under investigation, the news release said.
