An Armed Forces Medical Examiner System (AFMES) DNA technician, discusses the DNA process to a family member of a missing in action (MIA) service member during the 2023 Vietnam War Annual Government Briefing (AGB) in Washington, D.C., June 30, 2023. The AFMES team partners with DPAA to allow family members of MIAs to provide family reference samples for use in identifying unaccounted-for U.S. service members. Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) provides periodic updates and hosts annual government briefings for families of Americans who are missing from past conflicts. These events include formal presentations, question and answer sessions, and case summary discussions designed to keep family members informed of DPAA’s mission to account for those still missing while addressing their individual needs.
