U.S. service members assigned to the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) screen dirt as part of an underwater recovery mission in Wewak, Papua New Guinea on Sept. 13, 2022. DPAA personnel arrived to conduct an underwater excavation operation in an effort to find a U.S. aircraft crew lost over Papua New Guinea during World War II. DPAA's mission is to achieve the fullest possible accounting for missing and unaccounted-for U.S. personnel to their families and the nation. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Sgt. Jack A. E. Rigsby)
