Why is that?

https://www.military.com/daily-news/2025/01/31/2-soldiers-killed-tragic-midair-collision-dc-identified-army-withholds-third-name.html

Two of the three soldiers who were killed Wednesday when their Black Hawk helicopter collided with a passenger airline have been identified by service and public officials, but the Army on Friday withheld the name of the third service member amid online speculation of the identity.

Chief Warrant Officer Andrew Eaves, 39, of Great Mills, Maryland, and Staff Sgt. Ryan O'Hara, 28, of Lilburn, Georgia, were both identified by the governors of their home states.

The name of the third soldier, a captain, killed in the crash will not be released by the Army at the request of the family, a service official familiar with the matter told Military.com on Friday. All three were with Bravo Company, 12th Aviation Battalion, out of Fort Belvoir, Virginia.
