U.S. Navy EOD1 Alexander M. Greenspan, master explosive ordnance disposal technician with Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA), prepares for a SCUBA dive during recovery operations off the coast of Nha Trang, Khánh Hòa Province, Vietnam, May 24, 2023.
The explosive ordnance technicians assigned to this underwater recovery team execute tasks such as, sweeping units for any UXOs and confirming an area is archaeologically sterile of any man-made material at anywhere from 75-90 feet below surface.
Service members from the U.S. Army 7th Engineer Dive Detachment and the U.S. Coast Guard Regional Dive Locker West combined skillsets and techniques with DPAA and one of its underwater archaeologists to take on the unique underwater recovery mission. They searched for six of the remaining 1,244 Americans unaccounted for in Vietnam over a span of 75 plus days. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Sgt. Morgan L. R. Burgess)
