US team due in NKorea in March (AP)

WASHINGTON ? The Defense Department says U.S. personnel are due to travel to North Korea in March to restart efforts to recover thousands of servicemen missing from the Korean War.

The U.S. and North Korean militaries agreed last October to resume recovery operations that were suspended in 2005, but a start date was not announced.

A letter from Republican Sen. Richard Lugar to Defense Secretary Leon Panetta notes the agreement calls for a March 1 start date. The letter dated January 17 was obtained by The Associated Press.

A Defense Department spokeswoman Maj. Carie Parker said Thursday the North's military will begin preparations in early March ahead of a small U.S. advance team's arrival later that month to evaluate conditions and prepare for operations.
