Over 30 sailors and Marines were injured in a training accident off the coast of Florida.

Thirty sailors and Marines were injured in a training accident involving two landing craft off the coast of Florida, the Navy reported Wednesday.

According to the Navy, five sailors were evacuated to a hospital in Georgia for further medical care, four of whom were discharged after treatment. One sailor remains in the hospital.

The Navy did not disclose details of the nature of the incident or the specific exercise, but confirmed that it was an exercise. Several troops with minor injuries were treated aboard the USS Wasp and USS New York, both part of the Wasp Amphibious Ready Group.

The accident, which involved two Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) ships, is currently under investigation. No further information is available regarding the injuries sustained.

The affected Marines are members of the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), part of the Wasp ARG, consisting of the USS Wasp, USS New York and USS Oak Hill. The group had been conducting training exercises off the coast of Jacksonville, Florida.

Prior to this incident, the Wasp had already experienced problems off the coast of Naval Station Norfolk, Virginia, as reported in March. However, the Navy did not comment on the details of the ship’s status or the reason for its early return.

Tragically, the 24th MEU suffered another loss last month when Marine Sgt. Colin Arslanbas died in a parachute accident during pre-deployment training. Sergeant. Arslanbas, a reconnaissance Marine and member of the Maritime Special Purpose Force (MSPF), had recently been promoted to sergeant before his untimely death.

The incident highlights the risks associated with military training and operations. Investigations are currently underway to determine the cause and prevent similar incidents in the future.
