DPAA's field investigative teams deploy to locations around the world for about 35 days at a time. An IT consists of four to nine members with specialized skills, including a team leader, assistant team leader, analyst, linguist, and medic. In some instances, an anthropologist, explosive ordnance technician, or life support technician (for identifying aviation life support equipment) will augment the team.
