The team, led by Deputy Minister of National Defence Sen. Lieut. Gen. Nguyen Van Gau, had in-depth talks at the University of Georgia and a US military forensic facility. They are working together to find and identify the remains of fallen soldiers. The team is part of the National Steering Committee on the Search for, Collection and Identification of Martyrs’ Remains. They are trying to use new technologies to help with their work.

The visit was an important step in using new scientific and technological solutions to find and identify the remains of fallen soldiers.

The team went to the University of Georgia, which has a good model for finding and recovering human remains. The university uses a combination of history, anthropology, archaeology, artificial intelligence, and other technologies. The team learned that no single technology can solve all the challenges. They need to use a combination of historical records, field observations, and modern computational capabilities.

The Vietnamese team learned about new technologies, including ground-penetrating radar. This technology can help detect disturbances in soil layers associated with mass graves. The team also learned about magnetic sensors and image-processing algorithms that can help with this work.

The university is interested in a project to use new technologies to help Vietnam find and identify martyrs’ remains. A team of scientists has been working on this project for 18 months. They have developed new solutions that bring together different areas of expertise.

Vietnam is interested in using eDNA analysis and plasma spectrometry to identify commingled remains. They also want to use magnetic and ground-penetrating radar technologies. A mobile eDNA analysis system can detect biological traces of human remains at search sites.

The University of Georgia will share its technologies and provide training for Vietnamese recovery teams. This will help shorten the search and verification process and give hope to families of fallen soldiers.

The team visited the Armed Forces Medical Examiner System in Delaware and learned about the facility’s operations and methods for preserving remains and forensic specimens.

The team discussed new forensic techniques and records management at the Armed Forces DNA Identification Laboratory.

Deputy Minister Gau said that using scientific and technological advances is crucial to finding and identifying fallen soldiers.

The knowledge gained from the visit will help improve military forensic identification procedures in Vietnam. The team will also learn from international standards in data management and advanced testing technologies.

The visit was an opportunity for Vietnam to learn about new approaches to using modern technologies. It will also help improve and standardise procedures for the forensic examination and identification of martyrs’ remains.

The team’s visit will contribute to strengthening the professional capacity of domestic DNA testing centres in Vietnam.
