An excavator creates a channel to drain water from an excavation site during a Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency recovery mission on Guadalcanal, Solomon Islands, Aug. 6, 2024. After heavy rain, water can flood an archaeological grid, making it more difficult to maintain unit measurements for accurate historical records during excavation. The recovery team members worked to find missing personnel lost during the Guadalcanal Campaign in World War II. 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)
