Arrival Ceremony, US Navy Photogrpah

Members of a joint service honor guard escort transfer cases from a C-17 Globemaster during an Arrival Ceremony hosted by the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command (JPAC). The remains receiving full military honors represent losses associated with World War II and the Vietnam War that were recovered from Kiribati, Vanuatu, Papua New Guinea, Germany, France, Belgium, Canada and Vietnam. Falling directly under the U.S. Pacific Command and employing more than 500 joint military and civilian personnel, JPAC continues its search for the more than 83,000 Americans still missing from past conflicts. Members of JPAC conduct global search, recovery and laboratory operations in order to support the Department of Defense's personnel accounting efforts.
