WASHINGTON –
The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) announced today that U.S. Army Sgt. James B. Brock, 20, killed during the Korean War, was accounted for Jan. 29, 2025.
In December 1950, Brock was a member of Company I, 3rd Battalion, 31st Infantry Regiment, 7th Infantry Division. Brock was reported missing in action (MIA) after his unit was forced to retreat from Hagaru-ri, North Korea, after the Battle of Chosin Reservoir. The U.S. Army did not receive any information during or after the war to indicate Brock was ever held as a prisoner of war.
This is an initial release. The complete accounting of Brock's case will be published once the family receives their full briefing.
