Mitts was one of five soldiers aboard the UH-60 when it crashed Monday afternoon shortly after takeoff during a training exercise. The crash also killed 2nd Lt. Zachary Cook, 22, a recent Texas A&M graduate. The three others aboard were injured.
Mitts served with the Texas Army National Guard. He was deployed to Iraq from 2006 to 2007.
