Army Lt. Gen. Michael Linnington is the director of the Pentagon's new POW-MIA Accounting Agency, charged with finding and identifying remains of U.S. service members abroad. Defense Secretary Ash Carter appointed Linnington in June. He replaces Rear Adm. Mike Franken, who had served as interim commander since the agency was formed in January. On the Federal Drive with Tom Temin, Linnington told Federal News Radio's Matt Wingfield more about the history of the still-young agency, and how he plans to accelerate the location and naming of lost service members.
