Applying the Power of Partnerships to the Search for America's Missing in Action

Summary

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Applying the Power of Partnerships to the Search for America's Missing in Action", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.

Since 2015, the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency's Partnerships and Innovations Directorate (DPAA/PI) has successfully completed over 150 missions around the world, aided by the expertise and capabilities of more than 80 partner organizations. Included in this growing number of partners are academic institutions, non-profits, and cultural resources firms who enhance DPAA's ability to account for missing U.S. personnel through innovative and collaborative approaches. This paper will introduce the audience to DPAA/PI's mission and goals, highlight examples of the underwater team's partnership success stories, address future goals of DPAA/PI, and open dialogue amongst new and existing underwater partners.
