DPAA Mission
The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency’s (DPAA) mission is to provide the fullest possible accounting for our missing personnel from past conflicts to their families and the nation. Within this mission, they search for missing personnel from World War II (WWII), the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Cold War, the Gulf Wars, and other recent conflicts. Their research and operational missions include coordination with hundreds of countries and municipalities around the world.

In 2018, Study Group Missing Soldier (former Stichting Missing In Action (MIA)), the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) and the University of Osnabrück went to the German Huertgenwald to search for the remains of a U.S. missing soldier. Study Group Missing Soldier has this project pending for a long time.
