CAPSTONE Fellows Tour DPAA
John Figuerres, Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency acting deputy director for operations, welcomes retired U.S. Navy Adm. Harry Harris, former U.S. ambassador to South Korea and the 24th USINDOPACOM commander, and National Defense University CAPSTONE fellows during a DPAA tour at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii, Nov. 15, 2024. Throughout the tour, the fellows engaged with DPAA staff, senior leaders, and lab experts to gain deeper insights into the agency’s history and operational procedures. DPAA’s mission is to provide the fullest possible accounting for our missing personnel to their families and the nation. The fellows toured multiple USINDOPACOM agencies and DPAA as part of their capstone curriculum which examines major issues affecting national security decision making, military strategy, joint and combined doctrine, interoperability, and key allied nation issues.
