Dr. Jon Weiland, Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) scientific recovery expert, explains research and recovery operations 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. DPAA personnel will use sand bags to outline the excavated area for future recovery missions to know which area was previously excavated. 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)
