CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. — The latest on a helicopter incident that killed one Marine and injured 11 others at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina (all times local):

1:45 p.m.

The CH-53E Super Stallion helicopter involved in the accident belonged to Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 464, based out of Marine Corps Air Station New River, North Carolina, according to a Marine Corps news release.

The hard landing occurred as about 20 Marines were participating in helicopter ropes suspension techniques training in a landing zone at Stone Bay, a Camp Lejeune satellite training area, the release stated.

The training requires Marines to exit the back of an aircraft on a suspended rope while the helicopter hovers above a landing zone. It helps prepare Marines for conducting helicopter insertions and extractions in areas where helicopter landings are impractical.

Several Marines were transferred to Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune following the crash. One of those Marines, who was transferred there by air, was pronounced dead at the hospital at about 9 p.m., according to the release.

The Marine's identity is being withheld until 24 hours after next of kin have been notified.

Seven other Marines were treated at Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune. Six have been released and one remains hospitalized there in stable condition.

Four more Marines were transferred to Onslow Memorial Hospital nearby. Three of those Marines were treated and released. One remains in stable condition and was transferred to Vidant Medical Center in Greenville, North Carolina, and is "awaiting a minor procedure," the release states.

"The loss of a Marine or sailor affects us all," said Maj. Gen. William Beydler, the commanding general of II Marine Expeditionary Force, in the release. "While accidents like this are disturbing to members of our Corps, we remain resilient and faithful to one another as we respond to this tragedy."

Marine officials plan to hold a press conference to provide further details on Friday morning at Camp Lejeune.

"The command's priorities are to make contact with the families of the involved Marines as quickly as possible to provide them with the status of their loved ones," said Capt. Kendra Motz, deputy director of II MEF public affairs. "We want to ensure the Marines and family members of the units involved in the mishap have easy access to any help they may need after this tragic event."

The incident remains under investigation.
