Sustainable Archaeology: Accelerating DPAA's mission through technological advancement, partnerships and collaboration, and meaningful public engagement

Summary

This is an abstract from the "A Multidimensional Mission: Crossing Conflicts, Synthesizing Sites, and Adapting Approaches to Find Missing Personnel" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Fielding new capabilities and leveraging untapped resources for the acceleration of operational mission tempo has become a central imperative for the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency's (DPAA) fullest possible accounting mission. Since 2015, DPAA's Partnerships and Innovations Directorate has been a key enabler in addressing this priority, bridging technology and resource gaps, and building a broad network of partnerships across all fields of competency. By joining forces with partners, DPAA can leverage innovative resources and expertise to promote DPAA's ideals and values, achieve mutually aligned goals, and strengthen visibility and impact of call to action. This poster showcases key DPAA partnerships, and highlights lessons learned in locating aircraft crash sites, conducting excavations, and building collaborations towards ongoing mission sustainability.
