The Graves Registration Service (GRS) was a specialized unit within the United States Army responsible for the recovery, identification, and burial of deceased military personnel. Established during World War I, the GRS played a critical role in ensuring fallen soldiers were respectfully handled and accounted for, often working close to combat zones under hazardous conditions. Their mission continued through World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War, evolving with advancements in forensic science and identification techniques. Today, their legacy is carried on by the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA), dedicated to the recovery and identification of missing American service members worldwide.
