SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) - The U.S. Army has identified the five-member crew killed in the crash of a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter in Kandahar, Afghanistan on Monday.
 
The crew was flying a routine training mission using night-vision goggles. No enemy attacks were reported, according to Army sources.
 
Staff Sgt. Steven P. Blass of Estherville, Iowa, Chief Warrant Officer Bryan J. Henderson of Franklin, La, Capt. Sara M. Knutson of Eldersburg, Md, Staff Sgt. Marc A. Scialdo of Naples, Fla. and Spc. Zachary L. Shannon of Dunedin, Fla. were trained at Hunter Army Airfield in Savannah, which falls under the command of Fort Stewart, Ga.
 
A ceremony is planned at Fort Stewart in April to honor the soldiers who died this week.
 
The cause of the crash is still being investigated.
