"This is a day of sadness for Fort Campbell and the 101st Airborne," said Brig. Gen. Todd Royar, acting senior commander of the 101st Airborne Division and Fort Campbell. "Our thoughts and prayers are with the Families during this difficult time."
The cause of the accident was being investigated.
Three other U.S. military aircraft crashed this week, leaving five service members dead.
