DPAA Provides Medical Care for Lao Citizens
U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Ian Dobyne, Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) medical technician, helps a Lao citizen move his arm to check their blood pressure and heart rate during a medical outreach initiative in Lao People’s Democratic Public, Oct. 1, 2023. The medical outreach provided humanitarian assistance to approximately 200 Lao citizens throughout a recovery mission in search of a missing person from the Vietnam War. Since 1985, the United States and Lao governments have worked closely together to find and recover unaccounted-for personnel. There are still 288 missing personnel in Laos from the Vietnam War.
