The California guardsman killed Tuesday in a fighter jet crash in Ukraine has been identified as Lt. Col. Seth โ€œJethroโ€ Nehring.

Nehringโ€™s unit, the 144th Fighter Wing in Fresno, released his name late Wednesday night in a statement posted on the unitโ€™s Facebook page.

โ€œItโ€™s with a heavy heart we share the news that we lost a member of our team yesterday,โ€ the statement said. โ€œA loss of any kind is always difficult and our thoughts and prayers go out to Jethroโ€™s family and friends.โ€

Nehring was serving as operations officer in the Joint Operations Center. In that job, he was the liaison between the exercise director, California Air National Guard Commander Maj. Gen. Clay Garrison, and all flying operations, the unit said.
