The two soldiers were initially listed as missing after the CH-47 Chinook crashed during a sandstorm Wednesday near Ghazni, 130 kilometers south of the capital, Kabul.
Thirteen US service members and three civilian contractors were previously confirmed dead in the crash, which officials blamed on poor weather, the deadliest incident for Americans since the fall of the Taliban in 2001.
Lt. Cindy Moore, a US spokeswoman, said the remains of the last two soldiers were found Friday and that all the remains had been flown to the main American base at Bagram, north of Kabul.
From there, they will be flown to the US air base in Dover, Delaware, for identification, Moore said.
The names of the victims and the nationalities of the three contractors have not been released.
Moore said a team from the US Army’s Combat Readiness Center at Fort Rucker, Alabama, was scheduled to arrive in Afghanistan yesterday to lead the investigation into the crash.
The transport helicopter crashed as it returned to Bagram from a "supply and transport" mission in the insurgency-plagued south.
The charred wreckage was found in an area of flat desert near a cluster of brick kilns.
Officials reported no sign of enemy fire and suggested bad visibility and strong winds may have caused a fatal pilot error or technical problem. A second Chinook made it safely back.
According to US government statistics, 137 American soldiers have now died in and around Afghanistan since Operation Enduring Freedom, the US-led war on terrorism, began after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks in America.
Accidents have proven almost as deadly as attacks from Taliban-led insurgents, including a string of helicopter crashes and explosions caused by mines and munitions left over from the country’s long wars.
The previous worst incident in Afghanistan was an accidental explosion at an arms dump in Ghazni province in January,2004 that killed eight American soldiers.
The military said late Friday that a US soldier was wounded by a land mine explosion near Bagram. It said the soldier was inquiring in a village about an earlier rocket attack on the base but that there was no evidence militants had laid the charge deliberately.
The soldier, who suffered injuries to his legs, was evacuated to a US military hospital in Germany.
About 17,000 US soldiers remain in Afghanistan battling a stubborn Taliban-led insurgency and training a new Afghan army.
