Recovery crews remain on a remote island off the Northern Territory coast where an Osprey aircraft crashed, killing three US marines and injuring another 20.
The Department of Defence said the incident occurred during Exercise Predator's Run 2023 and no Australian Defence Force members were involved.
"Obviously, we've been reminded, ourselves, of the risks involved in defence exercises and the costs that defence personnel pay. And we are very much standing with the United States in this moment." Opposition defence spokesman Andrew Hastie said the accident was a reminder of Australia's bonds with the US, "forged through sacrifice, in peace and war".
