A row of buckets sit next to wet screen stations during a Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) recovery mission in the Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Nov. 8, 2024. DPAA team members screen tons of soil in search of any incident-related items, such as osseous material, life support equipment, or material evidence. There are currently 1,600 missing and unaccounted-for from the Vietnam War, of which 280 are believed to be in Laos. ( Air Force photo by Senior Airman Kathy Duran)
