Soldier Accounted for from Korean War (Carrino, F.)

WASHINGTON  –  

The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) announced today that U.S. Army Cpl. Frederick Carrino, missing during the Korean War, was accounted for Oct. 10, 2024.

In December 1950, Cpl. Carrino was assigned to B Battery, 57th Field Artillery Battalion, 7th Infantry Division, in the Korean theater. He was reported missing in action (MIA) after his unit was forced to retreat from Hagaru-ri, North Korea, after the Battle of Chosin Reservoir. The U.S. Army could not establish that Cpl. Carrino was ever held as a prisoner of war.

This is an initial release. The complete accounting of Carrino’s case will be published once the family received their full briefing.
