The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency's (DPAA) Detachment 2 Vietnam, the Vietnamese Office of Seeking Missing Persons, and U.S. Embassy ensured a safe and successful mission is possible for the underwater recovery teams.
Service members from the U.S. Army 7th Engineer Dive Detachment and the U.S. Coast Guard Regional Dive Locker West and Pacific combined skillsets and techniques with DPAA and one of its underwater archaeologists with the support of the Vietnamese Office of Seeking Missing Persons to take on the unique underwater recovery mission. They searched for four of the remaining 1,244 Americans unaccounted for in Vietnam over a span of 70 plus days. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Sgt. Morgan L. R. Burgess)
