U.S. Worldwide POW/MIA Accounting Efforts:  Process and Operations

9 - 12 August 2004

 

This conference was co-sponsored by The Defense Prisoner of War/Missing Personnel Office (DPMO), and the Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies in cooperation with Pacific Command’s Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command (JPAC).  The conference drew participants from countries in the Asia-Pacific region in which the U.S. conducts personnel accounting operations.  The conference served to increase understanding of the Prisoner of War/Missing in Action (POW/MIA) and personnel accounting issues, review the processes involved in personnel accounting, and develop ideas to improve current practices through multilateral discussion.
