Local police, state police and base officials were all cooperating in the search for the three men, identified as Maj. Jan Mohammad Arash, Capt. Mohammad Nasir Askarzada and Capt. Noorullah Aminyar.
Along with 12 other members of the Afghanistan National Army, the three men were all participating in a joint exercise that focused on tactical strategies that involved only officers and senior enlisted personnel Sahady said. There were six nations, including the U.S. participating in the exercise which is ongoing and is scheduled to wrap up by Wednesday.
Sahady said participants at the exercise were all vetted by U.S. Central Command and were not restricted to the base, except when they were scheduled to be on duty. The three arrived in the country on Sept. 11. They were last spotted Saturday night at the Cape Cod Mall, Sahady said.
