The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency is an agency within the United States Department of Defense whose mission is to recover United States military personnel who are listed as prisoners of war or missing in action. In this Flash Talk, Arianna Zapelloni Pavia (IPCAA PhD 2020), casualty resolution officer for the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency, discusses the mission of this agency, how they conduct excavations, and some of the difficulties they may encounter along the way.
