The Joint Mortuary Affairs Program is a broadly based military
program providing for the care and disposition of missing and
deceased personnel, including personal effects (PE). Based on the
guidance and direction of the Secretary of Defense (SecDef) and the
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Joint Mortuary Affairs
Program provides guidance to the combatant commands and Services.
Policy as stated in Department of Defense Directive (DODD) 1300.22,
Mortuary Affairs Policy, is that the human remains of all members
of the Armed Forces of the United States will be returned for
permanent disposition in accordance with the decedent's will or the
laws of the state (territory, possession, or country) of the
decedent's legal residence as directed by the person authorized to
direct disposition of human remains (PADD). During peacetime and
peace operations, mortuary services are provided at the local level
by regional Service mortuaries or through established Service
contracts. During military operations when local support
capabilities are exceeded or not available, the Department of
Defense (DOD) can direct all human remains go to a specified
mortuary, normally the Port Mortuary at Dover Air Force Base,
Delaware. The specified mortuary will provide positive
identification (ID) (if augmented by Armed Forces Medical Examiner
System), mortuary services, and return human remains to a place
designated by the PADD for permanent disposition. This publication
provides joint doctrine for MA support in joint operations. It
outlines procedures for the search, recovery, evacuation (to
include tracking of human remains), tentative ID, processing,
and/or temporary interment of human remains. This publication
addresses both the DOD's MA responsibilities in regards to civil
support duties under Commander, USNORTHCOM and to the other GCCs.
It further addresses decontam ination procedures for handling
contaminated human remains and provides for the handling of PE of
deceased and missing personnel.
