    Personnel with the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) and local workers screen excavated dirt during a recovery mission site in Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Sept. 23, 2023. Each recovery mission can involve up to 65 U.S. personnel plus Lao counterparts. Both countries work together on investigations and excavations throughout the country between 30 - 45 days per mission. Since 1985, the United States and Lao governments have worked closely together to find and recover unaccounted-for American service members. There are still 288 missing Americans in Laos from the Vietnam War. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. David Owsianka)
