U.S. Army Capt. Matthew Brown, Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) team leader, explains to Michelle Outlaw, U.S. Embassy Chargée d’ Affaires, on how the wet screening station operations are conducted during a recovery mission site tour in Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Oct. 17, 2023. DPAA personnel and Lao citizens work together at the screening stations to look for aircraft wreckage, life support material and possible osseous material from the excavated units. 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)
