THE JAMAICA Defence Force is still carrying out extensive search for two soldiers who went missing in the Blue Mountains last week Thursday.
"We have not been successful in our search for the soldiers," Major Charlene Steer told The Sunday Gleaner yesterday.
According to Major Steer, search parties have been combing the area and surrounding communities in a bid to locate the missing two.
"We saw some footprints leading into a dense area, where helicopters cannot go," Major Steer added.
Search parties tracked these, but without success.
"We are still searching and will continue to search."
The two soldiers were part of a 27-man team from the second Battalion The Jamaica Regimen (2JR), which left UP Park Camp on Wednesday for the Blue Mountain Peak. The men completed the training exercise up to the Peak and on the return leg en route to the base camp at Portland Gap, they were discovered missing.
