The mission is to obtain pictures of the Unknown Solider TB at the various Tombs of Unknown Soldiers (Tomb of the Unknown Soldier) around the world as well as other military sites (bases, ships, tanks, etc.).
Throughout history, many soldiers have died in wars without their remains being identified. In modern times, nations have developed the practice of having a symbolic Tomb of the Unknown Soldier that represents the war grave of those unidentified soldiers. They usually contain the remains of a dead soldier who is unidentified (or "known but to God" as the stone is sometimes inscribed) and thought to be impossible ever to identify, so that he might serve as a symbol for all of the unknown dead wherever they fell. Much work goes into trying to find a certain soldier, and to verify that it is indeed one of the relevant nation's soldiers.
Taken from Tomb of the Unknown Soldier on 13 Aug 2008.
