Dr. Kyle McCormick, right, Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) scientific recovery expert, and a Solomon Islands National Museum employee chop dirt during a recovery mission on Guadalcanal, Solomon Islands, Aug. 15, 2024. McCormick directed the recovery team to continuously break up the clay-like dirt into smaller pieces to make wet-screening it easier. DPAA’s humanitarian mission has a significant role in the Department of Defense’s efforts to build partnerships in the Indo-Pacific region and around the world. There are approximately 72,000 missing personnel unaccounted-for from World War II. Of those, 374 are unaccounted-for from Guadalcanal. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Ariel Owings)
