The Navy’s aviation community will undergo a “safety pause” Monday in the wake of multiple fatal flight mishaps in less than two weeks.

......

The pause comes amid at least three Navy and Marine Corps aircraft crashes in the past 10 days, two of which were fatal.

Most recently, a Navy MH-60S Seahawk assigned to Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 3 crashed near El Centro, California, Thursday night, injuring one of four crew members who were conducting a routine training flight at the time.

On Wednesday, five Marines were killed when their MV-22B Osprey crashed in a remote training area near Glamis, California, roughly 115 miles east of San Diego.

......

A few days before that loss, on June 3, a F/A-18E Super Hornet crashed during training in California, killing the pilot, Lt. Richard Bullock, of Strike Fighter Squadron 113.

Osprey long history of crashes until now still crash 

As to the others, cost cutting measures probably eating into the training and maintenance

Per flight hour, f35 more than usd35k and f22 more than usd50k after cutting expenses

Behind the scene negotiations protection and money involved in pivoting their forces there 

Just like Japan and Korea 'encouraged' to pay more for the added protection and money to ensure peace

The 'and' is there
