Book Description

This comprehensive CD-ROM provides a thorough guide to the work of the

Defense Department's Prisoner of War - Missing Personnel Office (DPMO), and

associated DOD facilities.

The Defense POW/Missing Personnel Office (DPMO) is at the forefront of "U.S.

Government efforts to achieve the fullest possible accounting of our missing

in action -- from all wars. U.S. military and civilian personnel are at work

daily in locations across the globe, seeking information from our former

enemies. The information here is the result of years of painstaking analysis

and intelligence reporting. Additional case-specific information, both

classified and unclassified, is available to the primary next-of- kin of our

missing Americans. Our vision [is to] develop, implement, and maintain a

joint system for live recovery of isolated personnel, rapid post-hostility

accounting and remains identification. Our mission [is to] exercise policy,

control and oversight within the Department of Defense of the entire process

for investigation and recovery related to missing persons (including matters

related to search, rescue, escape and evasion), coordinate for DoD with

other departments and agencies of the US on all matters concerning missing

persons, and establish procedure to be followed by DoD boards of inquiry and

by officials reviewing the reports of such boards (Missing Persons Act)."

Our CD-ROMs are privately-compiled collections of official public domain

U.S. government files and documents - they are not produced by the federal

government. They are designed to provide a convenient user-friendly

reference work utilizing the benefits of the Adobe Acrobat format to

uniformly present thousands of pages that can be rapidly reviewed, searched

by finding specific words, or printed without untold hours of tedious

research and downloading. Vast archives of important public domain

government information that might otherwise remain inaccessible are

available for instant review no matter where you are. This book-on-a-disc

makes a great reference work and educational tool. There is no other

reference that is as fast, convenient, comprehensive, thoroughly researched,

and portable - everything you need to know, from the federal sources you

trust.
