Teresa, New Mexico, the military announced late Tuesday. The troops were with 1st Marine Division, attached to Joint Task Force &#8211; Southern Border.<\/p>\n<p>The Marines were traveling from Santa Teresa, New Mexico, to El Paso, Texas, at the time of the incident, military officials said.<\/p>\n<p>The region where the accident took place is just over the state line and west of Fort Bliss, a major Army installation in West Texas that&#8217;s played a critical role in dispatching military deportation flights and served as a touchpoint for thousands of soldiers and pieces of equipment now deployed along the border. <\/p>\n<p>The troops are there in support of President Trump&#8217;s executive order to secure the U.S.-Mexico border. Their deaths are the first stemming from that operation, according to The Washington Post, which says the accident involved a vehicle rollover.<\/p>\n<p>A defense official speaking on the condition of anonymity to provide additional details not yet made public told The Associated Press the accident occurred in a civilian vehicle, and said no civilians were harmed.<\/p>\n<p>The accident didn&#8217;t involve any of the scores of Stryker vehicles the Pentagon has sent down to the border to perform patrols, the official said.  <\/p>\n<p>The accident occurred around 8:50 a.m. MDT Tuesday. The names of the deceased won&#8217;t be released until 24 hours after their next of kin are notified, the military said. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">More from CBS News<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p>    <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<\/section><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Drop in illegal crossings at U.S. southern border Sharp drop in illegal crossings at U.S. southern border 01:16 Washington \u2014 Two service members deployed to the U.S. southern border are dead and a third is in serious condition after a vehicle accident near Santa Teresa, New Mexico, the military announced late Tuesday.
