FILE - This June 21, 2013 file photo shows a yellow ribbon honoring captive U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl tied to a tree in Hailey, Idaho. The nearly five-year effort to free the only American soldier held captive in Afghanistan is scattered among numerous federal agencies with a loosely organized group of people working on it mostly part time, according to two members of Congress and military officials involved in the effort.
