<p>The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines said that the plane that crashed was a smaller aircraft.</p>
<p>Officials in the area were notified of the crash after receiving reports that residents saw &#8220;smoke coming from the plane and heard an explosion before the aircraft plummeted to the ground less than a kilometer (about half a mile) from a cluster of farmhouses,&#8221; the Associated Press reported.</p>
<p>The U.S. military has been deployed in the Philippines for decades to help the Philippine military combat Islamic terrorists who are members of ISIS.</p>
