The UH-60 Black Hawk crashed around 6:45 p.m. Wednesday, killing its three-member crew.
The helicopter was en route to Coleman Army Airfield in Mannheim when it went down in a thick patch of woods near the A67 highway.
No one on the ground was injured.
The U.S. Army said in a statement today that the names of the soldiers killed were being withheld until their relatives could be notified.
