Projects.

We choose investigation sites through a combination of archival military records, eyewitness accounts, satellite imagery, and field reconnaissance. Our team collaborates closely with U.S. agencies, international partners, and local communities to verify site integrity, historical accuracy, and logistical feasibility. Sites are prioritized based on the likelihood of recovering missing service members or meaningful artifacts.

Yes, under certain conditions. While field operations require trained personnel—such as forensic anthropologists, mountaineers, or medical support staff—there are structured opportunities for qualified volunteers to support missions. This can include pre-deployment logistics, artifact cataloging, archival research, and documentation. Those interested are encouraged to contact us directly or sign up for our volunteer orientation program.

Resolute Promise team members have decades of experience in forensic archaeology and mission planning. Many are also trained in mountaineering and high-altitude safety. While group protocols are followed, all participants must be individually accountable for their physical fitness and health to participate in challenging environments.

Recovered remains are handled with the utmost dignity and care, in accordance with federal protocols and cultural guidelines. All biological material is turned over to appropriate authorities (e.g., DPAA or JPAC) for scientific identification and potential repatriation to families. Non-human artifacts are documented, conserved, and archived or returned per diplomatic agreements.

We follow strict environmental protection standards and obtain all required permits from national or international governing bodies before beginning work. Our field operations include wilderness medicine support, weather contingency planning, and low-impact archaeological protocols to ensure missions are both safe and sustainable.
