Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) underwater recovery team personnel screen through material during recovery operations off the coast of Vietnam, June 29, 2023.
Wet screening is the primary method of sorting through material brought up from the grid using pumps and mesh screens. All team members participate in screening before the life support investigator and scientific recovery expert reviews the sorted material.
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)
