Dr. Lesly Chesson, Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) isotope program manager, explains to officials with the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare (MHLW) how members of the DPAA laboratory use cow bones as quality control during sample preparation for human remains in a tour at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, June 8, 2023. Through archaeological recoveries and unilateral turnovers, assemblages of human remains have entered the laboratory that the agency has deemed to be non-U.S. During the visit, members of the MHLW are focusing on remains from the Battle of Tarawa. The remains that are being sampled by the Japanese MHLW are believed to be either Japanese or Korean. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. David Owsianka)
