    A person is conducting soil color analysis using a Munsell Soil Color Chart, comparing soil samples placed in the chart's holes against standardized color swatches. The chart page visible is labeled '10YR' (a standard Munsell hue designation) and 'COLOR CHART', with the CHROMA scale visible at the top. Field notes are being recorded in a ring-bound notebook with graph paper, indicating this is a scientific field study or soil survey.

    Recovery Leader William Belcher compares soil colors while conducting Phase Two Testing on the island of Betio, Republic of Kiribati. The team is deployed to the island searching for remains or evidence of the more than 500 Americans lost during the Battle of Tarawa. 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.
