Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency personnel and U.S. Naval Academy (USNA), Annapolis, Maryland, midshipmen screen excavated dirt during a recovery mission on Guadalcanal, Solomon Islands, July 30, 2024. The team excavated and sifted through dirt in search of clues to locate 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. The USNA midshipmen, during their summer training and professional development, collaborated with the DPAA. 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)
