    Dr. Jon Weiland, Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) scientific recovery expert, explains how far personnel dig as they excavate soil to members from the U.S. Embassy Vientiane, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Defense during a recovery mission site tour in Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Oct. 17, 2023. Personnel will dig within specific areas at recovery sites through conducting scientific analysis to ensure they are searching in the best possible locations. Since 1985, the United States and Lao governments have worked closely together to find and recover unaccounted-for personnel. There are currently 1,578 missing and unaccounted-for Americans from the Vietnam War, of which 288 are believed to be in Laos. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. David Owsianka)
