ABSTRACT

Military biometrics is a fast moving, ever-evolving capability area. In this book I’ve articulated what in most cases are accepted and, to some extent actually practiced, operational employments. Unfortunately, technology developments tend to move much faster than the development of operational concepts, no matter how well formulated. So, before I close the main portion of my book, I want to discuss my evolving thoughts on what I believe should be the long-term, strategic goal of our military identity efforts-the establishment of an Advanced Identity Enterprise or AIE.
