The incident occurred around Summit Lake, close to Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM), as reported by the Thurston County Sheriff’s Office on Facebook.

“We have been informed that the military lost communication with a helicopter in the region, and we are collaborating closely with JBLM to provide any necessary resources for assistance,” the post stated.
