The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency's (DPAA) 23-3VN Underwater Recovery Team is recapped in a video production highlighting their growth as individuals, a unit, as well as, their use of many methods, operations and skills utilized throughout their mission in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. Service members from the U.S. Army 7th Engineer Dive Detachment and the U.S. Coast Guard Regional Dive Locker West and Pacific combined skillsets and techniques with DPAA and one of its underwater archaeologists with the support of the Vietnamese Office of Seeking Missing Persons to take on the unique underwater recovery mission. They searched for six of the remaining 1,244 Americans unaccounted for in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam over a span of 75 plus days. (U.S. Marine Corps video by Sgt. Morgan L. R. Burgess)
