    Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency Partner performs Recovery Fieldwork in Republic of the Philippines

    From January through March 2024, University of Illinois Chicago Center for the Recovery and Identification of the Missing (UIC-CRIM), partner of the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA), conducted excavations of a possible World War II plane crash in an effort to recover U.S. aircrew lost in the Republic of the Philippines. In the photo, Jerome Gazon, a local worker, operates the bucket zipline at a possible aircraft crash site in the Republic of the Philippines. To facilitate the backfilling process, buckets of excavated soil were sent along a zipline over the gully from the active excavations to the screens positioned above the previously completed excavation area, March 3, 2024 (Photographer Ivan Cultura with the National Museum of the Philippines).
