Welcome to FamWeb
The "FamWeb" is an online space for sharing general information with families of missing personnel, such as case profiles and battlefield summaries. As always, family members of missing personnel should stay in touch with their designated casualty officer to get specific details on their missing loved ones and the government's efforts to account for them. If you do not know your casualty office, the following link provides a list of each one: http://www.dpaa.mil/Families/Contact-Information.
Some of the highlights of the new content and features you will find on FamWeb are:
- Operations and battle narratives that provide a summary of some large military battles and operations for each conflict. With the Vietnam War content complete, and the Korean War and World War II narratives in-progress, this new information offers a view of an individual’s loss circumstances in the larger context of operations taking place at the time of the loss incident.
- FamWeb links information from the Missing Personnel Profiles Project with the relevant operations and battle narratives to provide more context and history for each loss incident. We strive to publish new loss profile narratives every day, so through these updates the history behind brave Americans who dutifully served and sacrificed for this great nation is better available.
- Enhanced statistics and reporting tools are explained in more detail to help generate on-demand lists of individuals from your home state who are still missing or were recently accounted-for.
- Forms to ask a question, register for upcoming Family Member Updates, or order a POW/MIA Recognition Day Poster, are now easier to find than before.

Your Service Casualty Office (SCO) maintains a database of family members and their complete contact information. SCOs are the single point of contact for registering as a family member for your loved one’s case.
They can provide you both current information and copies of records. The SCOs may not be able to answer all questions related to search, recovery, and identification, but they likely can obtain the information you seek.
