    Tech. Sgt. James Rila, with the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command, excavates a rock with the help of a local worker in Thua Thien-Hue province, Vietnam, while searching for evidence of two Americans listed as missing in action during the Vietnam War. In total, six recovery teams are excavating four separate aircraft crash sites and two ground loss sites, searching for evidence of 12 Americans unaccounted-for from the Vietnam War. The Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command conducts global search, recovery and laboratory operations to identify unaccounted-for Americans from past conflicts in order to support the Department of Defense's personnel accounting efforts.

    A young man wearing glasses and a white t-shirt is using a metal detector in a dense jungle or forest environment. He is equipped with headphones attached to the metal detector and carries a shoulder bag with tools. The vegetation is thick with bamboo-like plants, branches, and broad-leafed ground cover.
    A field survey or archaeological team is working on a forested hillside slope. A person in a yellow shirt and gray cap operates a total station theodolite on a yellow tripod in the foreground, while several other team members work up the slope. Small red marker flags are visible along the terrain, indicating systematic site marking or measurement.

    A woman in a lime green shirt and cargo pants is actively digging or excavating at what appears to be an outdoor dig site, using a long-handled tool while wearing black gloves. The site shows disturbed sandy/clay soil with string lines marking boundaries, buckets, and several other workers visible in the background. The setting appears to be a structured excavation, possibly archaeological or disaster recovery work.
