During Fiscal Year 2011 (Oct. 1, 2010 through Sep.30, 2011), JPAC will deploy about 75 investigation and recovery teams on 33 missions to 14 countries worldwide. Of those, 43 teams are deploying to support Vietnam War operations, 12 are supporting Korean War operations, and 21 are supporting World War II operations. In South Korea, four Joint Forensic Reviews (in which sets of remains are evaluated to determine their racial affiliation) will be performed in country, while the first two excavations in Vietnam will be done unilaterally with U.S. and Vietnamese recovery personnel.

Out of concern for the safety and security of our teams, we cannot provide a detailed list of dates, specific locations, or team details. However, this quarterly breakdown provides an overview of where JPAC plans to deploy teams during the Fiscal Year.
