Joint Prisoner of War/Missing in Action Accounting Command (JPAC)

The Joint Prisoner of War/Missing in Action Accounting Command (JPAC) is a U.S. military organization dedicated to recovering and identifying the remains of American service members who were prisoners of war or went missing in action, particularly from conflicts like World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. JPAC works to ensure that families receive closure by locating, repatriating, and identifying these individuals, often using advanced technology and forensic methods to match remains with records of missing personnel. Their mission reflects a commitment to honoring the sacrifice of those who served.
