UW MIA Recovery and Identification Project

y, Archaeology, Forensics and Genetic Analysis. Researchers and student veterans from across these disciplines are building a multi-disciplinary team to help accelerate the recovery of lost service members. In 2014 the Center helped identify the remains of PFC Lawrence S. Gordon, a United States soldier who was killed in action on August 13, 1944, but whose remains were later misidentified as a German soldier. The project's primary goal is to identify new technologies to enhance the recovery and identification process and apply these technologies towards the final goal, repatriation.
