U.S. Air Force Tech. Sgt. Justin De Vanteier, an Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) short term individual augmentee (STIA) attached to the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA), excavates a unit during a DPAA recovery operation in the Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Aug. 2, 2024. Personnel use the shovels and other tools to excavate soil from the site in search of a missing U.S. service member from the Vietnam War. Since 1985, the United States and Lao governments have worked closely together to find and recover unaccounted-for American service members. There are currently 1,575 missing and unaccounted-for Americans from the Vietnam War. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Sgt. Lesley B. Cisneros)
