## Introduction (U) Biometrics In Recent Operations (U)

(U) The collecting, matching, and intelligence analysis of biometric data supports positive identification and characterization of individuals who may pose a threat to U.S. national security. It provides a powerful capability for DOD to identify and respond to threat personnel, protect friendly forces, and defend national interests. 11te success of DOD and DOD's partners in identifying such threat~ is further improved by sharing hiometric data with interagency and international partners. Therefore, it is important to employ a comprehensive, coordinated approach tbr biometric data collection, as well as to foster sharing agreements with interagency and foreign partners.

(U) The term *biometrics* is derived from the Greek words ''bio'' (lite) and "metric.c; (to measure). Automated biometric systems have become available only over the last few decades, as significant advances have been made in computer processing. However, many of these new automated techniques are based on ideas that were originally conceived hundreds, even thousands of years ago.

(U) Army units began biometric data collection from local populatims in Kosovo in the Balkans during the
1990s as a way of tracking locally employed personnel. Biometric data collection continued to evolve during operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. These two theaters of operations demonstrated the difficulty in fighting an enemy who could hide among the local population.

(U) Incorporating biometric informatim into all-source intelligence analysis was, and continues to he, a highly successful technique for enabling U.S. forces to strip away the anonymity of threat fighters hiding among the local population. With un extraordimtry degree of confidence, U.S. forces were able to link enemy acthity to non uniformed, previously unidentified combatants using biometrics technology.

(U) Despite the success of biometrics, BEl, and BEWL employment in combat zones, there remained an underlying problem-inefficiency. A contributing factor to this problem was the sheer mass of data accumulated. During operations in Iraq, the Army provided deployed forces with biometric collection devices without a comprehensive plan for how the data would be collected, managed, and employed by units. The efforts of combining the lessons learned from biometric collection and operational best practices led to more efficient targeted collection.

## Lessons From Recent Operations (U)

(U) Several important lessons emerged during these operations in the last decade.

## Use Of Biometric Information (U)

(U) Commanders require the ability to link a biometric identity to a given individual. Commanders employ biometric capabilities to deny threat forces anonymity and freedom of movement, and to positively identify known threats. These capabilities collect biometric data and combine them with contextual data to produce a biometric file on the individua1. Personal identification includes positively identifying friendly, adversary, and nonadversary forces. Intelligence-related functions that biometrics and BEl can support or enhance include-

-
Intelligence analysis.
-
Forensic-enabled intelligence (FEI).
-
Document and media exploitation (D01\1EX).
-
Screening of foreign national and local employee hires.
-
Counterintelligence and force protection.
-
Interrogation and detention operations.
-
High-value target confirmation (including high-value individuals and individuals killed in
action).
-
Base access and local security.
-
Population control or census (screening, enrolling, and badging operatirns).

## Part One Fundamentals (U) Chapter 1 Overview (U)

(U) The use of BEl has been an integral force multiplier during counterinsurgency operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. The biometric techniques established in these theaters of operations led to the development of recognized Army BEl fundamentals that will continue to support commanders and the decisionmaking process. This chapter covers the fundamentals of BEI, including overviews of the biometric process, the BEl process, and BEl support to operations.

## Bel Roles And Responsibilities (U)

l-1.

(U) Different organizations have specific roles and responsibilities pertaining to biometrics.

Commanders at all echelons have a responsibility to integrate biometrics and BEl into operational and inteJJigence planning processes and cycles. Each organization is capable of contributing significantly to the repositories where identity characteristics are stored and retrieved to develop all-source intelligence.

Biometrics and BEl are imp<rtant aspects of this collection effort but are greatly enhanced when coupled with FEI, DOMEX, and other identity data. It takes a concerted focus from all organizatioos to synthesize these enablers into viable and mission critical intelligence products.

1-2.

(U) Units leverage biometrics to the fullest extent possible to help defeat t11e enemy and enhance protection. Unit leaders and biometric collectors must understand that biometric data is shared and used globally across all DOD components, U.S. Government agencies, and in cooperation with international partners. Commanders must enswe the proper command emphasis, prioritization, and resourcing of biometric training and operations.

1-3.

(U) Quality collection of biometric information enhances force protection and mission success throughout the force by eliminating the anonymity of adversaries and their associated networks. Higher quality collection results in more efficient and credible databases requiring less effort from database managers to correct discrepancies and increases the likelihood of successful matches. Leadership can support biometrics by-

-
Enswing training, operational planning, and mission execution incorporate biometric processes
and proven techniques and procedures.
-
Stressing the importance of quality over quantity in co11ections. Leaders stress standardized
proper collection techniques throughout the biometrics community so analysts and decisionmakers
can access credible data. An improper biometric collection wastes time and leads to gaps in
knowledge, which may be exploited by the enemy.
-
Providing feedback to collectors on the impact of their collections at tactical, operational, and
strategic levels. In select areas, near real-time responses may be available to units in contact.
-
Understanding the current rules of engagement and legal aspect of co1Iecting biometrics. This
will ensure effective use of biometrics during host nation legal proceedings.
-
Considering proper site selection for biometric enrollment operations:
-
Select a location which supports the flow of personnel, type of operation, security
considerations, biometric task (enroJJment, identification, or verification), expected number
of operators or collectors and enrollees, user circumstances, existing data, t)'pe and amount of equipment, and so forth.
-
Ensure adequate networks and communications are avaiJable to support the needs of the
operation. which could vary from a host-nation (na1authoritative) match to direct match
against a multinational (authoritative) database.
-
Including biometric capabililies in the unit's preexecution checklist. Leaders check to ensure all
collection devices are loaded with the most up-to-date biometricalJy enabled watch lists
(BEWLs) according to the unit's standard operating procedures and as operations dictate. At a
minimum, the BEWL is updated weekly on the devices, but daily is preferred. (See paragraphs
5-31 through 5-39 tor intormatim on BEWLs.)
-
Working closely with the multinational partners in the unit's area of operations, gaining their
acceptance and support of biometric enro11ment operations.
1 -4.

(U) For more information on the description of biometric roles and responsibilities, see DODD 852l.OlE, and DODI 0-3300.04.

## Fundamental Biometric Terms (U)

1-5.

(U) Joint doctrine defines *biometrics* as the process of recognizing an individual based on measurable anatomical, physiological, and behavioral characteristics (JP 2-0). A *biomelric* is a measurable physical characteristic or personal behavior trait used to recognize the identity or verify the claimed identity of an individual. Thus, the term biometrics designates both characteristics of an individual nnd a process. As a process, *biometrics* consists of the automated methods used to recognize an individual based on measurable biometric characteristics. This manual uses *biometrics* to indicate this process.

1-6.

(U) The totality of an individual's biometric characteristics is that person's biometric *identity.* A
biometric identity is established by col1ecting and linking biometric characteristi~. The combination uf biometric characteristics possessed by any person is unique. This fact, combined with the current technological state of multimodal biometric collection devices, makes a biometric identity more likely to identify an individual than biographical characteristics alme. (The term biometric identity is normaHy used in conjunction with biometric files that have not been associated with a person by name.)

## Biometric Files And Their Components (U)

1-7.

(U) A *biometric file* is the standardized individual data set resulting from one or more biometric enro1lments. Data contained in a biometric file falls into the fo11owing categories:

-
Biological characteristics.
-
Biographical characteristics.
-
Behavioral characteristics.
-
Contextual data.
1-8.

(U) A *biological characteristic* is an individual characteristic based primarily on an anatomical or physiological characteristic, rather than a learned behavior. Fingerprints and hand geometry are examples of biological ch(lfaLtt::ristio;. A biological charactt:ristic is rt::eordw in a biometric sample. (See paragraph 1-14.)
A biometric enrollment may include multiple biometric samples. A biometric file may include samples from several biometric enrollments.

1-9.

(U) *Biographical characteristic.s* are physical or nonphysical characteristics of an individual from whom the biometric sample has been collected. Biographical characteristics include the following: full name, age, height. weight. address. telephone number, email address, birthplace, nationaJity. education lt::vd, and group alliliations. TI1t::st:: characteristics also include data such as the person s employer, security clearances, and financial and credit history. The biographical characteristics for foreign nationals in an area of operations include interactions with U.S. and multinational forces. Biographical characteristics are also called associated data.

l-1 0. (U) A behavioral *characteristic* is an attribute that can be learned or acquired over time, rather than one based primarily on biology. Examples are signature, keystroke dynamics, and gait l-11. (U) *Conte.ttual data* are the elements of biographical characteristics and situational information
(who, what, where, when, how, why) associated with an enrollment. Contextual data describes the context in which an enrollment occurred, such as at a checkpoint or during a cordon and search. The data also include whether the individual was alone or with others. Contextual data are also called situational data.

## Biometrics-Enabled Intelligence {U)

1-12. (U) The Army defines biometrics-enabled *inteOigence* as intelligence resulting from the combination of biometric information with other intelligence, threat information, or information relating to otber aspects of the operational environment in order to answer intelligence requirements.

BEl attempts to reduce anonymity and positively identify individuals based on qualities that make someone unique. It is critical for analysts to understand tl1at biometric information and BEl must be combined with all-source informatioo and intelligence for a complete BEl picture. Within Army intelligence doctrine, BEl is a complementary intelligence capability.

## Biomrtric Systems, Biometric Data, And Biol\Fetrtc Modai.Ttif.S (U)

1-13. (U) Biometric information is collected. stored. analyzed. and managed with biometric systems. A
biumeJric.: *:,ystem* is a grouping of multiple individual components (such as a sensor, matching algorithm, and result display) combined to perform a task related to collecting or supporting analysis of biometric data. A biometric system may be a component of a larger system. A biometric system is automation that may be capable of-

-
Capturing a biometric sample from an individual.
-
Extracting and processing the biometric data from that sample.
-
Storing the extracted data in a database.
-
Comparing lhe biometric data with data contained in one or more references.
-
Determining how well the samples match and indicating whether an identification or verification
of identity has been achieved.
l-14. (U) Biometric *delta* is computer data created by biometric systems during an enrollment, verification, or identification process. Examples are raw sensor observations, biometric samples, models, templates, and similarity scores. Biometric data designates data about an individual collected during an enrollment, verification. or identification process. It doe.~ not pertain to information about users of that information.

such as user name, demographic information, and authorizations. A biometric *sample* is data representing a biological d1aracteristic of a person as captwed by a biometric system.

l-15. (U) The categories of biometric data are called modalities. A *biometric modality* is a type or class of biometric sample originating from a person. During a biometric enrollment. each collected modality constin1tes a separate sample. Said another way, a biometric enrollment normally consists of multiple biometric samples. The most commonly collected modalities are facial images, fingerprints, and iris images. Other modalities include-

-
Voice recognition.
-
Palm prints.
-
Vascular mapping.
-
Retina image.
-
Gait (manner of walking).
-
Hand geometry.
-
Handwriting.

## The Biometrics Community (U)

1-16. (U) Supporting the other Services is a critical component of the Army's contribution to unified action. Army biometric and BEl development supports and aligns with joint identity intelligence operations. (See JP 2-0 for more information on identity intelligence.)
1-1 7. (U) The biometrics community includes all the entities and organizations with an interest in the development and utilization of biometrics. The community also includes all the Services, other U.S.

Government agencies, and international partners. Every member of the community helps integrate biometric in formation into identity transaction~ needetl to support military operations <md departmt:nlal business f1111ctions. The current DOD biometrics enterprise strategic plan provides additional information on integrating biometrics into military operations. Institutionalizing biometrics into military operations enable~ unity of effort through shruing of biometric information, best practic-es, and lessons learned. Figure l- 1
shows the supporting biometrics communit y relationsh ips and goals. The integration and utili7.ation of biometrics by DOD organizations must include efforts to shwe data in order to be completely successful and support future biometric activities.

## Bel Within The Intelligence Process (U)

1-18. (U) BEl relies on information and intelligence data-as well as a distinct processing, exploitation, reporting, and dissemination enterprise-to integrate biometric information into the overa11 intelligence picture. This integrutioo occurs dtning all steps and activities of the intelligence process. Biometric information comes from U.S. and non-U.S. collection and processing capabilities and is fused with, allsource intelligence and other information. Commanders use this information, and the intelligence gained from it. to monitor or neutralize the intluence and operational capacity of threat individuals. cells. and networks of interest trying to operate anonymously. (See chapter 2 for more details on the BEI process.)
1-19. (U) BEl provides commanders the capability to positively identify threat individuals and deny threat anonymity. BEl remains an integral piece of all-source intelligence and operational success in all environments.

## Plan And Direcf (U)

1-20. (U) During the planning and directing activity, the intelligence staff identifies and advises the commander on where biometric collections would be beneficial and what BEl prcxlucts can help achieve mission success. As th~ courses of action mature, the intelligence staff identifies BEl requirements, prioritizes them, and integrates them into the commander's information and intelligence requirements. The biometric-specific co11ection requirements are then incorporated into the unit information collection plan and follow-on collection plans to help focus biometric collection efforts. (See FM 3-55 for additional details on information collection. See ATP 2-01 for doctrine on planning requirements.)
l-21. (U) During planning and directing, rules for processing and exploiting biometric data are developed or updated for the range of military operations and all decisive action tasks (offense, defense, and stability).

Likewise, specific BEl production requirements are identified, as weJJ as rules and guidance for disseminating and integrating BEl into future intelligence requirements and unit plans. (See chapter 3 for information on incorporating biometric activities into intelligence planning and direction.)

## Collect (U)

1-22. (U) Collection managers ensure the collection of biometric information, which ultimately leads to BEl, is part of the planning and collection processes. ColJection is synchronized to provide critical information at key times throughout the phases of an operation and during the transition from one operation to another operation. A successful biometric collection effort results in the timely collection and reporting of relevant and accurate information, which supports the production of intelligence. Army biometric data collection capabilities are constantly evolving, becoming more versatile, detailed, and reliable. (See chapter
4 for information on biometric collection.)

## Produce (U)

l-23. (U) Production is the development of intelligence through the analysis of collected information and exi~ting intelligence. To answer requirements, analysts create intelligence products, conclusions. cr projections regarding threats and relevant aspects of the operational cnvironmatt in an effective tormat.

Intelligence products must be timely, relevant, accurate, predictive, and tailored to facilitate situational understanding and support decisionmaking. The accuracy and detail of intelligence products have a direct effect on operational success.

1-24. (U) Accessible databases store biometrics and related data for use by analysts during intelligence production to enhance situatimal awareness. AnaJysts at all echelons generate BEl products that support and meet a commander's information and intelligence requirements. Analysts not only tailor BEl productc;
to the needs of the commander but also prepare reports that are releasable to the lowest possible echelon, multinational parmers, cr the host nation. (See chapter 5 for int<>rmation on BEl production.)

## Disseminate (U)

1-25. {U) Most intelligence disciplines utilize dissemination and integration systems or processes to push information to those who need it. Analysts share and retrieve biometrics via secure and noosecure Webenabled portals. Users feed biometric data through the biometric architecture to local or regional servers.

Analysts and organizations support commanders as they integrate intbrmation and intelligence into their dedsionmaking and planning proct!Sses. Most non-military-intelligence personnel do not have access to U.S. Government biometric databases. Echelon intelligence officers must develop alternative methods to get critical, time-sensitive biometric information to the right personnel, at the right time, and in a useable format
1-26. (U) BEl dissemination and analytical integration does not cease when BEl products are posted to a database. Commanders ensure the integration of BEl products into future intelligence operatioos. These products, along with a robust collection effort, significantly supplement the targeting process. (See chapter 6
for information on BEl dissemination.)

## Analyze And Assess (U)

1-28. (U) The analysis activity answers the intelligence *so what?* question behind the biometric encounter.

It defines the inte11igencc value of the information gathered. Because it is a human function performed by an analyst, the analyzing activity is not an automated biomeuic enterprise core capability. Nevertheless, it lies at the heart of the BEl process.

1-29. (U) BEl contributes to all-source analysis and is incorporated into intelligence products in order to provide the commander with a clearer intelligence picture. Additiona11y, BEl is incorporated to satisfy the commander's critical information requirements concerning persons, networks, or populations of intere...;;t.

BEl analysis begins in response to the results of the biomeuic comparison or to a requirement to find a biometric sample for a persoo of interest.

1-30. (U) The assessing activity is continuous throughout the intelligence process and asks such questions as-

-
Are unit intelHgence activities directed at answering the commanders intelligence requirements?
-
Are biometric concerns and capabilities being addressed and used effectively?
-
Are collection assets being utilized effectively to answer intelligence requirementc;?
-
Is biometric data being processed and analyzed in a timely manner and to support operational
needs, including t.;'lrgeting?
-
Are biometric architectures being utilized effectively?
l-31. (U) This list is not all inclusive, but analysts should always assess if intelligence activities are effective and if they are producing the results that the commander needs. (See chapter 7 for information about analyzing and assessing biometric activities.)

## Biometrics And Bel In Emerging Doctrine (U)

1-32. (U) As the Army continues to look to the future, there is an uncertain strategic environment that will challenge all Soldiers, leaders, and organizations in many ways. Future adversaries are likely to be highly adaptive and occupy an environment that greatly complicates the ability of Army forces to conduct operations. They will most likely attempt to deny U.S. and multinational forces access to their territory.

When friendly force.'> do gain access, adversarie." will attempt to deny those forces freedom of movement.

This environment will require friendly forces to conduct expeditionary operations. operations in large urban areas, and operations with reduced military resources. A significant part of these operations will include various biometric and BEl activities.

1-33. (U) The United States anticipates an expanding range of smaller, shorter, rapidly changing missions in which adversaries attempt to hide within the greater populace. These missions are compelling the Army toward superior agility. expanded expeditionary capabilities. precise lethality, special operating force and conventional force interdependence, a greater capacity for theater security cooperation, and improved cultural awareness. Many recent adversaries have attempted to operate anonymously against U.S. and multinational forces. Biometrics and BEl arc key contributors to identifying, locating, and targeting these adversaries. SpecificaJly, analyst<; use the BEl process to satisfy requirements involving the location, activitie..", or other issues concerning specific people or groups of people. Therefore, partnering with other countries and building the biometric and BEl capacity of regionally aligned U.S. and multinational forces is important during theater security cooperation (also called TSC) activities.

1-34. (U) Biometrics and DEI are critical to future operations for a number of reasons:

-
They are the primary source of informatim commanders and other consumers use to positively
identify specific individuals or groups of people.
-
They help analysts develop insight into threat individuals, enemy groups and organizatims, and
threat characteristics and patterns.
-
They support the protection warfighting function by helping to ensure only positively identified,
and appropriately authorized, locally employed persons and third-country nationals are allowed
entry onto bases and other friendly facilities.

## Biometrics And Bel During The Phases Of Operations (U)

1-35. (U) Army forces-as part of joint, interagency. intergovernmental, and multinational teams-protect the homeland and engage regiona1ly to prevent conflict, shape security environments, and create multiple options for responding to and resolving crises. Mission-tailored Army units are regionally engaged across the globe, building partners, deterring adversaries, and overcoming cha1lenges to defeat enemie.~ using multiple. often simultaneous, actions integrated in time. space, and purpose. The joint tbrce commander and Service component commanders arrange operations and activities through the joint phasing model
(joint phases of operations). (See JP 3-0.) There are six phases:

-
Shape (phase 0).
-
Deter (phase 1 ).
-
Seize the initiative (phase 2).
-
Dominate (phase 3).
-
Stabilize (phase 4).
-
Enable ci \Iii authority (phase 5).
1-36. (U) There are requirement'i tor biometric information and BEl during each phase. Some biometric and BEl activities are specific to certain phases, while others span multiple phase.'i. Commanders and other leaders addre..l)s the collection, storage, processing, exploitation, and dissemination of biometric information and associated contextual data in each phase. Commanders remain aware that some biometric activities are performed during multiple phases of some operations. These biometric activities support the continuous and worldwide analysis of that data and development of BEl. All regional biometric activities must be S}1lchronized with the Department of Defense Automated Biometric Identification System (ABIS). (ABIS
is DOD's authoritative biometric database.)
1-37. (U) Ideally. regionally aligned forces develop and populate a local database of biometric signatures
;:m<.l associated contextual information during phase 0. The database can then be maintained and continually populated during all subsequent phases. However, units will not always be able to establish the database during phase 0. Therefore, commands prepare to establish localized biometric databases during any phase of an operation. It is critical for commands to continuously update the biometric database of actual and potential adversaries to maximize the value of BEl.

## Phase 0--Shape (U)

1-38. (U) In the *shape* phase, the command focuses on building the biometric. BEl. forensics. and FEI
capacities of U.S. and multinational forces and on demonstrating to multinatimal partners the value of shruing biometrics-related information. Some possible biometric and BEl activities include-

-
Developing and establishing agrtements, policies, and regionally aligned forces' relationships
for collecting, storing, accessing, and sharing biometric data, as well as associated contextual
data, required for operational use Wld for the development of BEl. Commands ensure this is
coordinated with and among Army, joint, and multinational forces, and with U.S. Government
agencie.C\.
-
Developing the architectures necessary to support the agreements, policies, and regionally
aligned forces relationships pertaining to biometrics and BEL Commands ensure the architectures provide for the integration of new information into all standing databases. such as
those from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Department of Homeland Security, and
the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol).
-
Conducting ba~ic biometric training with multinational and interagency partners, including what
biometrics is, how to collect and store biometric data, and how to use the BEWL. (See
paragraphs 5-31 through 5-39 for information on BEWL~.)
-
Researching and analyzing potential areas of operations to determine what biometric databases,
such as any within local police forces or other host-nation governmental agencies, are in use and
how they can be accessed.
-
Beginning to identify information requirements involving the location, activities, or other issues
concerning a specitic person or group that can be satisfied through the use of biometrics and
BEl.
-
Establishing a preliminary local biometric database. when teasible.
-
Beginning the process of identifying actual and potential enemy personnel for nomination to and
inclusion in regional BEWLs.
-
Identifying and incorporating biometric manning, collecting. storing, accessing, and sharing
requirements into contingency plans.

## Phase I-Deter (U)

1-39. (U) During the *deter* phase, the increased use of biometric collection systems by multinational forces or DOD personnel and the subsequent analysis and sharing of BEl provide an elevated security posture for the United States and partner naticns. The security effort is supported by placing biometric enrollments collected by multinational forces into the DOD authocitative biometric database (ABIS). Matches to watch lists and persons of interest are provided to multinational partners.

1-40. (U) Some possible biometric and BEl activities incJude-

-
Coordinating with joint forces, other U.S. Government agencies, and multinational forces to
execute the agreements, architectures, mld policies for biometrics and BEl development.
Commands enslue ruchitectures provide for integratioo of new information into all sl<'Ulding
databases. such as those from the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, and Interpol.
-
Continuing to use biometrics and BEl to assist in identifying and tbcusing intbrrnation
requirements involving the location, activities, or other issues concerning specific persons or
groups.
-
Continuing to identify enemy and potential enemy personnel for nomination to and inclusion in
regional BEWL'i.
-
Coordinating with joint forces. other U.S. Government agencies. and multinational forces to
begin full biometric enrollments of specific individuals and types of people within the area of
operations.
-
Beginning the development of BEl for use in the overall intelligence process and the
development of all-source intelligence products.
-
As appropriate, sharing biometric data and BEl with joint forces, other U.S. Government
agencies, multinational forces, and other communities of interest.
-
If authorized, using information from current authaitative source databases (see paragraph 7-19)
to assist in identifying, locating, mld targeting of persons of interest.

## Phases 2 And 3--Seize The Initiative And Dominate {U)

1-41. (U) During the *seize the initicllive* and *dominate* phases, units conduct biometric enrollments of persons encountered on the battlefield when the tactical situation permits. Additionally, commanders can use this same biometric and forensic information, coupled with other identity data. to support military criminal or war crime prosecutions. Enrolling detainees and key segments of the local population as the tactical situatim permits not only allows for better control of detained personnel but also facilitates the later identification of people who may become hostile. Conducting increased enrollments and identifications also provides for the security of the local populace by demonstrating the ability to positively identify individuals across time and space regardless of their method of disguise.

1-42. (U) Some possible biometric and BEl activities include-

-
Supporting the targeting of high-value individuals and other persons of interest in support of-
-
Operations at the tactical and operational echelons.
-
National and multinational auth<rities.
-
Assisting in the positive identification and control of-
-
Detainees and other persons of interest.
-
Civilians at critical points throughout the area of operations, especially at checkpoints.
-
Personnel during cordon and search operations.
-
Personnel at key local infrastructure facilities, such as communications nodes, power
stations and substations, and water and sewage facilities.
-
Enhancing overall population management by providing friendly forces a significant means to
positively identify tbreign fighters, insurgents, and other non indigenous people.
-
Supporting detention and interrogation operations.
-
Aiding in the positive identification of isolated personnel returned during personnel recovery
operations. (See FM 3-50 for personnel recovery doctrine.)

## Phases 4 And 5-Stabilize And Enable Civil Authority (U)

1-43. (U) The continued use of biometric and BEl activities introduced in earlier pha'ies aids U.S. and multinational forces in the continued identification, locating, and targeting of threat personnel during the stabilize and *enable civil authority phases.* Full integration of biometric activities into daily patrols, security screenings, tactical checkpoint~, cordon and search operations, and other activities also contribute to accomplishing these tasks. As the tempo of operations slows and the transfer of authority to civil authorities occurs, the use of biometrics and BEl shifts from controlling the populace and identifying threat personnel to facilitating the resumption of more normal, peacetime activitie.c:;.

## 1-44. (U) Some Possible Biometric And Bel Activities Include-

-
Supporting security at key leader engagements. (See FM 3-53.)
-
Enhancing a commander's understanding of population attitudes toward U.S. and multinational
forces by assisting in positively identif)ing members of the populace who do and do not support
friendly forces.
-
Contributing to the establishment of a safe and secure environment by assisting in the
identification of individuals, or groups of individuals, who do not desire to see an end to
hostilities.
-
Providing the positive identification of members of the local populace necessary to assist in
establishing essential governmental services, emergency infrastructure reconstruction, contract
and monetary disbursements, and humanitarian relief.
-
Enhancing the positive identification of personnel in support of-
-
Detainee operations.
-
Personnel recovery operations.
-
Operations at pcrts of entry.
-
Enhancing the identification of deceased high-value targets.
-
Enhancing the vetting of personnel hired into host-nation government <rganizations, such as
police forces and health services agencies, government-controlled facilities, and other
infrastructure.

## Chapter 2 Biometric Processes (U)

(U) This chapter describes automated and manua l biometric processes that enable analysis. The chapter also discusses how biometric data is processed in biometric system'>. Additionally, the chapter addresses the steps involved in developing BEL

## The Biometric Automated Process (U)

2-1.

(U) Analysts who understand the biometric automated process signiticantly increase their un1t s analytical capabilities by ensuring the integration of biometrics into the operations and i11telligence processes. In addition to understanding how biometrics are processed in automated systems, analysts need to know how to properly incorporate biometric data into all intelligence process steps and activities. thus enabling a better understanding of the operatiooal environment.

2-2.

(U) Biometric automated actions combine to form a process by which biometric data can be automatically processed and stored in a national repository for retrieval by analysts throughout DOD. 1l1e biometric automated process comprises four automated actions: normalize, match, store, and share. (Sec ligure 2-1.) 1l1e.se actions occur when data is entered in to a biometric collection device or stored in a biometric repository. Each action is an integral part of the automated process and a buildjng block for the following action. Each action ensures the biometric data follows a specific path to the repository and allows anc~ysts to retrieve the data and manipulate it into various BEl products. The data is shared wi th interagency departments daily and may be shared with partner nations on a case-by-case basis .

Note. (U) Throughout the biometric automated process and BEl process, commanders and leaders must ensure operations are conducted in accordance with applicable laws, policies, authorities and agreements.

## Normalize (U)

2-3.

(U) *Normalization* is the process of transforming one or more biometric samples from a single person into a single biometric file of standard tbrmat meeting a specified quality level. This ensures biometric files are easily shared and used by the automated biometric systems of DOD and other agencies. The normalize action results in a standardized, high-quality biometric file consisting of a biometric sample and contextual data.

2-4.

(U) DOD biometric collection systems are generally capable of creating normalized biometric files at the point of collection. However, biometric tiles obtained from other countries are likely to have contextual data written in a foreign language and use formats incompatible with DOD S)'Stems. Manual normalization is time consuming and resource intensive but is critical for updating and populating biometric repositories.

2-5.

(U) Once a biometric file is normalized, it is transmitted to a data source for matching, if the biometric collection system does not allow for matching at the point of collection. The normalize action of the biometric automated process correlates with the produce step of the intelligence process.

## Match(U)

2-6.

(U) The match action determines whether different biometric samples come from the same person, based on their level of similarity. Matching can be performed to determine either biometric identification or biometric verification:

-
Biometric identification is the automated process of comparing a submitted biometric sample
against all biometric files (one-to-many) to determine whether it matches any of the templates
and, if so. return the identity of the individual whose file was matched.
-
Biometric verification (also called biometric authentication) is the automated process of
comparing a submitted biometric sample against one biometric file (one-to-one) to determine if
they match.
2-7.

(U) Matching begins with receipt of a collected, normalized biometric sample. It continues with the biometric system comparing the sample with biometric files in the supporting biometric repository. The collector is notified by a prompt on the collection device showing the results of the comparison. (The exact prompt depends on the system in use.) The collector then makes a decision regarding the disposition of the individual who provided the biometric sample.

2-8.

(U) An important component of matching is the system threshold score, which is a setting for some biometric systems that can compare biometric samples. The acceptance or rejection of biometric data depends on the match score falling above or below the formatted threshold. The threshold is adjustable, which allows the biometric system to be more or less strict. depending on requirements.

2-9.

(U) Enrolling the biometric sample and other data into a repository as a new biometric file, or updating the repository file. completes the matching process. Even though biometric data is being compared with other biometric data in an automated system and not by an analyst, the matching action of the biometric automated process correlates with the continuing activity of analysis that occurs throughout the inteiJigence process. However, relevant data from the repository needs to be assessed by an analyst to ensure it makes sense based on the cwTent operational situatirn. This assessment may occur during matching or later, depending on the urgency of the situation.

## Store (U)

2-LO. (U) The store action makes standardized and current biometric data available for all analysts to access at any time. An individual's biometric file is stored in the biometrics repo.."iitory. Upon subsequent encounters, the individual's file is updated each time with additional data. Depending on the operational requirements and environment, the storing action may occur in a local biometric database on a laptop computer, at a large data center in a theater of operations storage node (consisting of a server within a secure location), in a national database, or in all three.

2-11. (U) The store action of the biometric automated process correlates with the continuing activity of analysis and the production step of the intelligence process. Even if biometric data does not have immediate value, it is stored for future use. That way, it can be accessed and compared or analyzed whenever necessary to support intelligence activities. Moreover. the data can be used as part of intelligence products to support answering intelligence requirements.

## Share (U)

2-12. (U) The share action is the exchange of normalized biometric files and match results among approved DOD, interagency, and multinational partners in accordance with applicable laws, policies, authorities, and agreements. Unfiltered and unanalyzed biometric data may be shared among databases.

Building sharing relationships with other units, Services, and countries a11ows more effective use of biometric intorrnation and contrihutes to developing better BEl.

2-13. (U) Sharing biometric data is authorized among Army-. DOD-, and intelligence communityapproved repositories to ensure agencies across the intelligence enterprise have access to the same intormation. The share action of the biometric automated process correlates to the disseminate step of the intelligence process. (See DODD 8521.01.E for policy on the integration and coordination of biometric products, systems, and services throughout DOD.)

## The Bel Process (U)

2-14. (U) Biometric information that has been through the automated process is exploited to create BEl.

However, biometric information alone does not create BEl; it must be synthesized with other intelligence and intormation to have full value and relevance. To create BEl products, analysts retrieve and analyze biometric files containing biometric data and biographical and behavioral characteristics, before synthesizing them with other all-source information. (See figure 2-2 on page 2-4.)
2-15. (U) The BEl process aligns with the BEl definition. It has four components:
-
Biometric and associated data.

-
Intelligence data and reporting.

-
Operational environment data.

-
Commander's intelligence requirements.

## Biometric And Associated Data (U)

2-16. (U) Biometric data consists of collected biometric characteristics. such as fingerprint~. iris images, or palm prints. Each of these provides unique and specific identifiers for an individual. This data is compared to other data to determine a possible match.

2-17. (U) *Associated data* (also called biographical characteristics) are physical and nonphysical attributes of an individual from whom the biometric sample has been collected. These are non biometric attributes that provide some identifying information about an indhidual but lack the distinctiveness and permanence to differentiate any two individuals. These include the following data about a person: height, weight, gender, eye color, nationality, ethnicity, personal habits, age, resident addresses. employers, telephone numbers, email address. place of birth. family names, education, security clearances, and financial and credit history.

Associated data are extremely valuable because they add context to the biometric data, possibly providing a better understanding of a person of interest.

## Intelligence Holdings And R Eporting (U)

2-18. (U) In order to fully understand and exploit biometric and associated data, an analyst evaluates them in relation to other intelligence and reporting.

## Operational Environment (U)

2.- 19. (U) Understanding the operational environment is imperative 10 all aspects of military operations.

Army planners analyze an operational environment in terms of the operational variables: political, military, economic. social, information, infi'astructure, physical environment, and time (also called PMESII-PT).

(See ADRP 5-0 and ATP 2-01.3/MCRP 2-3A.) By focusing inteJligence efforts on the operational variables, <m analyst acquires knowledge the intelligence staff needs to better plan biometric collection activities and add meaning to biometric data collected.

## ' Bel Development Vignette ( Continll~D) (U) ( B ) (3 )

(U) Study of th~ qperational environment, along with biometric ~nformation and other iriteiUgence, enables the analyst to recommend a clos~r study of the person of interest, religious leader and building, and suspected threat house.

## Commander's Intelligence Requirements (U)

2-20. (U) One of the intelligence staffs main roles is to answer the commander's intelligence requirements. By combining biometric information with other information and intelligence, the BEl process helps analysts answer intelJigence requirements. Understanding the commander's intelligence requirements and synchronizing intelligence activities to meet them supports successful mission accomplishment.

## Incorporating Biometric Processes Into The Intelligence Process (U)

2-21. (U) Biomt!tric informatim provides a part of tht! ovt!ralJ intt!lligence picture ami helps to confmn or deny identities of combatants and noncombatants in the area of operations. Biometric information is fused with other information and intelligence to develop all--source intelligence. The all-source approach enables analysts to provide clarity to an otherwise ambiguous battlefield that includes friendly, neutral, and hostile individuals occupying the same space and time. 'lbe requirements for collecting biometric information and synchronizing collection capabilities are integrated into the intelligence process. The continuous intelligence activities of analyze and assess must be part of this integration as well. TI1e BEl process provides a tiamcwork for analysts and leaders to logically integrate biometrics and associated capabilities into each step of the intelligence process.

2-22. (U) Analysts use biometric information throughout the intelligence process to help answer the commander's intelligence requirements. The final step of the intelligence process, dissemination, provides the commander with BEl products and recommendations for specific courses of action concerning persons of interest. These recommendatioos are implemented by updating the BEWL. developing the situation map, or recommending that Wl individual be added to the BEWL. Figure 2-3 on page 2-6 depicts how the biometric processes are integrated into the intelligence process to produce BEl for the commander. When executed correctly, integrating biometrics into the intelligence process enables commanders to have a better

## Chapter 2 For

understanding of the operarional environmen t. (See paragraphs 5-31 through 5-39 for information on BEWL<;.)

## Part Two Biometrics And The Intelligence Process (U) Chapter 3 Plan And Direct (U)

(U) Early and thorough planning and directing is the foundation for effectively integrating BEl into all aspects of an operation. BEl requirements concerning persons, networks, and populations are submitted during pJanning requirements and assessing collection to ensure BEl requirements are included and answered as the operation is executed. (See ATP 2-01.) BEl is incorporated into planning as early as possibJe to ensure the appropriate integration and synchronization of co1Iection requirements for the operation.

## Advantages Of Planning And Directing (U)

3-1.

(U) Army design methodology and the military decisionmaking process (MDMP) are supported by and drive considerations for intelligence planning. Planning and directing provides-

-
Validated and prioritized information, collection, and production requirements.
-
A strategy for executing biometric collection that is synchronized with the supported command's
concept of operations.
-
A strategy tor proce.<;sing and exploiting collected biometric and contextual data.
-
BEl analysis and production planning.
-
BEWL nominatim instructions, screening criteria, and a management structure. (See paragraphs
5-31 through 5-39 for information on BEWLs.)
-
Strategies for data dissemination and information-sharing.
-
A BEl architecture, including databases, dissemination means, and ru1alytical tools.
-
M~asures of p~rformanc~, measur~s of effectiveness, and mecllanisms to captur~ ass~ssm~nts
and provide feedback.
-
Recommendations for tasking to organic and supporting assets.

## Planning Considerations (U)

32.

(U) Utilizing information and inteJJigence already available saves valuable time when integrating BEl into planning. Some biometric resources to use while gathering information on persons of interest or groups include--

-
U.S. databases, such as the Biometric Identity Intelligence Resource (also called the BUR). (See
paragraph 4 21.)
-
Multinational biometric data (requires request~ for information and special coordination).
-
Hostnation biometric information (requires requests for information and special coordination).
3-3.

(U) Considerations for plwming include the status of individuals that forces encounter. Biometric collectors categorize individual identities by status, which determines how the data is processed based on laws, policy, social convention. and security requirement~. There are three accepted statuses:

-
Friendly-trusted individuals, DOD personnel and family members, U.S. persons, trusted allies,
and multinational partners.
-
Neutral or unknown-nonaligned individuals, hostnation, and third-country nationals.
-
Adversary-enemy combatants, known or suspected terrorists, detainees, criminals, hostile
foreign intelligence officers, and persons of interest.
34.

(U) Another planning consideration is the type of operation the supported unit is conducting.

Generally, any silllation in which Soldiers encounter individuals not explicitly known to be friendly is an opportunity for biomebic collection or identity verification, for example-

-
Detainee management.
-
Base or huilding access control.
-
Population screening.
-
Civil and governmental activities.
-
Civilian, military, or community leader assessments.
3-5.

(U) Biometric and BEl analysts need to be aware of all the planning tools available to them as they conduct IPB. Planning tools that suppcrt biometrics and BEl include-

-
Event template.
-
Named areas of interest.
-
Target areas of interest.
-
Density plot overlays.
-
Link diagrams.
-
Battle damage assessment charts.
-
The operational variables: political, military, economic, social, information, infrastructure,
phY\ical environment, and time (also called PMESH-Pl}.
-
Civil considerations: areas, structures, capabilities, organizations, people, and events (also called
ASCOPE).
36.

(U) The operational variables are fundamental to developing a comprehensive understanding of an operational environment. CiviJ considerations help analysts better understand the local culture in the operational area. (See ADRP 5-0 and ATP 2-01.3/MCRP 23A.)
3 7.

(U) The use of these and other intelligence tools during planning provide intelligence professionals and commanders at all levels with a better understanding of the operational environment, decreasing unknown factors and increasing the probability of mission success. (See paragraphs 7-32 through 741 for additional in formation on planning tools that support biometrics and BEL)

## Bel And The Military Decisionmaking Process (U)

3-8.

(U) The mifiuuy decisionnraking *proces.1* is an iterative planning methooology ro understand the situatioo and mission, develop a course of action, and produce an operation pi 1m or order (ADP 5-0). 1l1e MDMP steps are--

-
Mission analy.;is.
-
Receipt of mission.
-
Course of action development.
-
Course of action analysis.
-
Course of action comparison.
-
Course of action approval.
-
Orders, production, dissemination, and
transition.
3-9.

(U) The MDMP integrates the activities of the commander, stall subordinate headquarters, and unified action parUJcrs to understand the situation and mission, develop and compare courses of action, decide on a course of action that best accomplishes the mission, and produce an operation plan or order for execution. 1l1is process helps l e~1ders apply thoroughness, clarity, sound judgment, logic, and professional knowledge to understand situations. develop options to solve problems, and reach decisions. (See ADRP 5-0
and FM 6-0 for more informacion on MDMP.)
3-10. (U) During the MDMP. the intelligence staff is responsible for providing well defined, specific allsource intelligence prcx:lucts and tools. The staff tailors the all-source products and tools to the commander's requirements and the operation. All the lvfDMP steps are important (mel l~td to a better understanding of the operational environment. However, it is critical tor intelligence staffs to integrate biometric and BEl efforts inlO steps 2, 3, and 4.

## Step 2-Missio~ Analysis (U)

3- 11 . (U) Initial illlelligem:t: prudu\:ts art: int<::grateu into th<:: MDMP during step 2. lntdligt:na::
requirements. an updated LPB, and running estimates are outcomes of this step. 1l1e more time and effort the intelligence staff can commit to thorough analysis before executing step 2, the better developed intelligence prooucts they produce. Included in the analysis and research before step 2 are biometric databases, forensic databases, and BEl review of operational areas. Figwe 3-1 depicts BEl considerations incorporated into step 2.

## Step 3-Course Of Actio\! Development (U)

3- 12. (U) The purpose of course of action development is to update the running estimates and prepare options for the commander's consideration. The staff develops friendly courses of action based on facts and assumptions identi~ied during IPB and mission an<1ly.;is. Lncorporating the results of JPB into course of action development enswes that each friendly course of action takes advantage of the opportunities the environment ami threat situation u!Ter and auempts to mitigate the must signilkant risks. (Figure 3-2
depicts BEl considerations incorporated into step 3.)
3- I 3. (U) Incorporating biometrics into step 3, course of action development is critical because it enables better biometric strategies to support operations. These strategies help determine needed biometric resources. collection plans, processing priorities, and dissemination ard1itectures.

## Step 4-Course Of Actio\! Analysis (Wargamlng) (U)

3- 14. (U) Step 4 of the MDMP is also critical to the success of operations. During this step. the intelligence staf[ continues to update all intelligence products and analyses, including biometric information <utd BEl and how they affect friendly operations. Additionally, intelligence personnel pruticipatc in wargaming, where they present possible threat actions and reactions to friendly operations. Included in wargaming are the threat's ability to counter biometric data collection, such as avoiding biometric collection efforts, removing fingerprints, or changing facial features. (Figure 3-3 depicts BEl considerations incorporated into step 4.)

## Bel And Intelligence Preparation Of The Battlefield (U)

3- I 5. (U) Imelli~:ence preparation of *the battlefield* is the systematic process of analyzing the mission variables of enemy, terrain. weather. and civil considerations in an area of interest to determine their effect on operations (ATP 2-0 1.3/MCRP 2-3A). By applying IPB, commanders gain the in formation Jlt!(;essary to selectively apply and maximize operational effectiveness at critical points in time and space.

3- 16. (U) Biometrics and BEl contribute significantly to the refinement of IPB. Biometric in formati01 and the analysis provided by developing BEl can help locate the threat and identify threat characteristics.

3-17. (U) Intelligence planning is integrated into the entire MDMP. Early planning for biometric analysis and BEl integration includes support to IPB and development of all-source intelligence. Intelligence planners must understand the purpose, environment, and characteristics of-

-
The MDMP. (See ADRP 5-0.)
-
IPB. (See ATP 2-01.3/MCRP 2-3A.)
-
Intelligence analysis. (Sec ATP 2-33.4.)
3- 18. (U) Additionally, intelligence planners must understand-
-
Enemy tactics.
-
The enemy's abi lity to react to circumstances and friendly actions.
-
The rut of tactics. (See ADRP 3-90.)
3-19. (U) Before formal planning, the stnff conducts extensive preparation and analysis to satisfy the requirements of LPB. Biometric information and BEl contribute to the overall intelligence picture, allowing intelligence staffs to hetter support commanders' planning and decisionmaking. During planning, the intelligence staff is responsible for developing a specific set of products and tools that suppon the MDMP.

Preparation for incorporating biomeuic dma and BEl iJIIO IPB occurs concurrently with other intelligence activities that contribute to IPB.

3-20. (U) Intelligence staffs identify BEl requirements and priorit.ize them alrng with the rest of the commander's information and intelligence requirements. The biometric-specific requirements are then incorporated into the overall information coiJection plan, which focuses all collection efforts, including biometric collection. Rules for processing and exploiting biometric data are developed and updated during planning and direction. Specific BEl production requ irement~ are also identified during planning, as well as standards and guidance for disseminating and integrating BEl into future intelligence requirements or plans.

## Chapter 4 Collect (U)

(U) The biometric collection activity begins with validated information requirements that are answered by capturing biometric samples and their related contextual data.

To meet commanders' intelligence requirements, analysts consider how biometrics are collected in all environments.

Knowledge about an operational environmem requires aggressive and continuous operations to acquire information. lnformation collected from multiple sources and analyzed becomes intel ligence that provides answers to the commander's critical in formation requirements. lnfomwtion *collection* is an activity that synchronizes and integrates the planning and employment of sensors and assets as well as the processing, exploitation, and dissemination systems in direct support of cutTent and future operations (FM 3-55). ll1e staff ensures information collection activities support the commander"s requirements by synchronizing and integrating all components of information collection. (See FM 3-55 for doctrine on information collection.)
4-2.

(U) Units incorporate biometric collection requirements into the information collection phm. Units also integrate biometric collection requirements into standard operating procedures and specific actions on the objecti ve. Biometric collection includes individual biometric samples, associated data, behavioral chmacteristics, and contextual data. The information collection plan should include details about how to handle captured materials if present.

(U) Army forces conduct four tasks when executing the information collection plan: reconnaissance
(See FM 3-90-2), surveillance (see FM 3-55), security operations (see FM 3-90-2). and intelligence operations (see FM 2-0). Biometrics and BEl conoibutc to development and continual assessment of the in formation collection plan. Intelligence staffs consider biometric in formation and BEI throughout information collection to ensure a complete all-source intelligence picture.

4-5.

(U) The intelligence staff includes requirements tor biometric collection in planning requirements and assessing collection. A focused biometric collection effort aicls in iden tif)~ng networks-both familial and organizational. The use of biometric information assists analysts in identifying individuals who may be linked to an event through forensic collections of a latent fingerprint or DNA. Collectors should adhere to the principle of collecting 10 fingerprints, two iris images, and one facial image (otlen called the 10-2-1
standard) as the enrollment standard because the latent print associating an individual to an event may be a small area on a finger. DNA data assists in determining familial relationships. Identity data derived from biometrics, forensics, and DOMEX are analyzed to develop prcxlucts such as link diagrams and targeting packages that allow for precise targeting and development of named areas of interest. (Table 4-1 on page 4-2
illustrates biometric-related tasks performed during planning requirements and assessing collection.) (See ATP 2-33.4 for network tmalysis techniques.)

## Unclassified

4-6.

(U) Planning requirements effectively focuse..'> information coilection activities on obtaining the information commanders and staffs require to influence decisions and operations. These information collection activities include-

-
Commander and staff efforts to synchronize and integrate information collection tasks
throughout the operations process.
-
Commander's understanding and visualizatioo of the operation by identifying information gaps.
aligning assets and resources against the gaps. and assessing the collected information and
intelligence to inform the commander's decisions.
-
Staffs integration processes during planning. preparation. and execution (for example. IPB. the
MD1viP, and the targeting, operations, and intelligence processes).
4-7.

(U) Information coUection synchronization integrates the intelligence product with reconnaissance and surveillance tasking. Tasking for biometrics includes specific guidance to collectors to enroll all persons of interest. Time constraints and time on target vary with each mission, but a detailed prioritization for performing these biometric tasks aiJow Soldiers to organize and execute accordingly.

4-8.

(U) Biometric information answers information requiremt!Ilts such as confJTmation or denial of an enemy's identity. It also provides targeting information. Biometric enrollments answer the who, *lt-1zere,* and when, of persons of interest during an operation. The *what* and *why* intelligence questions are answered when biometric information is incorporated into planning. Effective operations are better synchronized with subordinate and higher echelons throughout the biometric enterprise by using the information collection plan to facilitate biometric collection efforts. (See ATP 2-01 for planning requirements and assessing collection techniques.)

## Collection Activities (U)

4-10. (U) Every operation potentially provides the opportunity to collect biometric information. Quality biometric collections are desired over quantity. High-quality enrollments contained in the database increase the probability that a person of interest will be properly identified. Tactical leaders should consider the following:

-
As operator proficiency with biometric equipment improves, the quality of collections increases,
thus speeding production.
-
Preexecution checks' are essential to biometric collection success and include-
-
Equipment function checks.
-
Cunent BEWL loaded. (See paragraphs 5-31 through 5-39 for information on BEWl.s.)
-
AdtX.JuaLe powe;::r or charge;::.
-
Biometric data should be collected at every opportunity to the 10-2-1 standard enrollment
Factors limiting biometric collection include number of coHection devices, area security, and
subject bodily disfigurements (such as, amputations, burns. scars).
-
Postmission checks include uploading biometric data into theater- and national-level databases.
4-11. (U) Collecting and handling biometric data is chal1enging, depending on the environment, cooperation of the su~ject. time available, equipment, and other factors. DOD Wid other U.S. Government agencies and organizations recognize specific standards for collection, handling, and dissemination of biometric and contextual data. (See the *Electronic Biometric Transmission Specification* [also called EBTS].) All Army collection systems and databases are required to meet these standards so the entire intelligence community can benefit fiom shared biometrics and forensics data.

4-12. (U) A full (also called standard) biometric enrollment consists of a facial image, iris images, and fingerprints. However, each biometric modality has a distinct set of advantages and disadvantages when compared to others. Mission dictates which modalities are collected. Other factors, such as time on objective or collection assets available, also affect what can be collected. Joint force and command guidance commonly outline the collection expectations. However, if the mission and situation allow, a full biometric enrollment is accomplished. (See appendix B for more advantage..c; and disadvantages of different modaliti~s.)
4-13. (U) Most biometric collection systems accommodate collection of multiple biometric modalities on the same system (multimodal capability). Multiple biometric modalities are collected during an enrollment event. This allows a more complete collection file of an individual, thus increasing efficiency of comparisons and accuracy of result~\.

## Cultural Impact Of Collections (U)

4-14. (U) Cultural considerations and impacts from biometric collections include-

-
Not all cultures understand what biometrics arc and why it is necessary to co11cct them.
-
Some cultures may be suspicious or superstitious about collections.
-
Certain culmres may feel violated by collections.
4-15. (U) Mission accomplishment relics on cross-cultural communication and engagement and military information support operations during biometric collections to mitigate any cultural misunderstanding.

4-16. (U) The limit<; of biometric and forensic effectiveness for legal matters may hinge on the local culture of the area in which operations are being conducted. This is particularly important for counterinsurgency and stability missions. There may be U.S.-imposed limitations on using forensic evidence because of classification levels. Host-nation rules of evidence may apply. Local judges may reject biometric and forensic evidence and, instead, require two witnesses and photographs. However, using biometrics and forensics in intelligence is valuable, especially since few, if any, of the evidentiary rules that pertain to law enforcement apply to intelligence.

## Current Collection And Database Capabilities (U)

4 17. (FOUO~ Over the last decade, in support of specific theaters of operations, DOD has developed and employed several biometric databases and capabilities. DOD biometric and forensic capabilities continue to evolve as needed to support operational needs. At pre.."ent. DOD employs or has access to the current capabilities:

-
Department of Defense Automated Biometric Identification System (ABTS).
-
(b) <3>
I
-
Biometric Identity Intelligence Resource (BI2R).
-
Biometrics Automated Toolset-Army (BAT -A).
-
Secure Electronic Enrollment Kit II (also called SEEK II).
-
Defense Biometric Identification System.

## Automated Biometrics Identification System (U)

4 18. (FOUO~ ABIS is the central, authoritative, multimodal,.Jnometn.~ reoositorv T~tem
~~ates md oohm~ as=i&OO ~ch tb')wl (3)
- ']
Note. (U) ABIS is the authoritative repository for biometric samples. Authcritative should not be construed as pertect-ABlS does report false positives. Local nonauthoritative databases in tactical collection devices are sometimes more stable and report more accurate results.

## Next Generation Identification {U)

4-20. (U) Next Generation Identification is a large-scale tO-fingerprint (open-set) identification system. It is used for criminal history background checks and identification of latent prints discovered at crime scenes. Next Generation Identification is an FBI system managed by the Department of Justice. It is incrementally replacing the Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System.

## Biometric Identity Intelligence Resource (U)

4-2l. (U) BI2R is an automated database that stores biometric and associated data from DOD collection devices. Analysts use the BI2R toolset to perform analysis and develop intelligence reports supporting DOD and national missions. TI1e system is designed to provide DOD and the intelligence community with authoritative, biomctrically base-lined identities. It provides the advanced tools and technologic.~ necessary to analyze, collaborate, produce, disseminate, and share biometric information. BI2R also interfaces with systems supporting controlled access to BI2R products via JWICS and SIPRNET.

## Biometrics Automated Toolset-Army (U)

4-22. (U) BAT-A is a multimodal, tactical, biometric system that collects, stores, matches, and shares fingerprints, iris images, and tacial images. The BAT-A contains two important components the analyst should be aware of: the laptop system, which enables access to the BAT-A software, and the tactical handheld biometric collection device.

4-23. (U) Enrollers collect biometric, biographical, and behavioral data on persons classified as friendly, neutral or unknown, or adversary. During biometric collection, BAT-A establishes new files or matches collected data against either existing local files or other servers in the BAT-A architecture. Soldiers use the data dw-ing enrollment tbr identification or for verification and authentication purposes.

4-24. (U) The BAT -A system allows the digital file created on an individual to be updated. Analysts often use it to attach interrogation reports and other key data to a biometric file. Files stored on BAT-A servers are replicated in the continental United States BAT -A hub via the SIPRNET. Data from the continentaJ
United States BAT-A hub is processed through an automated cross-domain system to ensure only unclassified data is entered into ABIS. The BAT -A system represents an encounter-based system. That means one identity is updated on each encounter, when at all possible.

## Secure Electronic Enrollment Kit Ii (U)

4-25. (U) The Secure Electronic Enrollment Kit II is a tactical handheld biometric collection device capable of comprehensive, multimodal identification and enrollment. It combines forensic-quality fingerprint capture, rapid dual iris image capability, and facial capture technology. The device automatically captures and tbrmats shmdards-based flat and roJled fingerprints and iris and facial image.~.

## Exploitation Of Captured Materials (U)

4-27. (U) Modern military operatioos are executed in complex and ever changing operational environments. Military leaders at all levels must have access to accurate and timely information. Leaders'
decisions are enabled by accurate information about enemy forces through rapid extraction, exploitation, and analysis of captured materials. Captured materials are divided into captured enemy documents and media and captured enemy materiel.

4-28. (U) Captured materials and residual collection, such as latent prints, are a fertile source of biometric data. Exploiting captured materiel has long been practiced in the Anny as technical intelligence
(TECHINT). Technical *intelligence* is inte1ligence derived from the co1lection, processing. analysis, and exploitation of data and information pertaining to foreign equipment and materiel for the purposes of preventing technological surprise, assessing tbreign scientific and technical capabilities, and developing countermeasures designed to neutralize an adversary's technological advantages (JP 2-0). TECHINT
applies scientific and technical methods to fulfill national security, counterterrorism, and counterinsw-gency requirements. (See ATP 2-22.4 for TECHINT techniques.)
4-29. (U) Document atzd media *exploitaJion* is the processing, translation, analysis, and dissemination of collected hardcopy documents and electronic media that are under the U.S. Government's physical control and are not publicly available (ATP 2-91..8). DOMEX includes the systematic extraction of information from al1 media in response to commanders collection requirements. When conducted properly, DOMEX-

-
Maximizc.c; the value of information obtained from captw-cd enemy documents and media.
-
Provides the commander with timely, accurate, and relevant intelligence to effectively enhance
awareness of the threat's capabilities, operational' structures, and intents.
-
Assists in criminal prosecution and legal proceedings by maintaining d1ain of custody
procedures and preserving the evidentiary value of captured enemy documents and media
-
A1lows for strategic and long-tenn analysis within the intelligence and law enforcement
communities.
4-30. (U) DOMEX is an increasingly specialized, full-time mission that require.~ advanced automation, communications, and analytical support. as we11 as expert linguist.~. DOI\1EX consists of three components-document exploitation, media exploitatim, and cell phooe exploitation. (See ATP 2-91.8 for DO:MEX techniques.)
4-31. (U) DOMEX complements TECIDNT. Both support-

-
Intelligence production.
-
Targeting.
-
Interrogation operations.
-
Warning intelligence for protection.
-
Criminal prosecutions and judicial proceedings.
-
The collection of biometrics and forensics.
4-32. (U) DOMEX and TECHINT provide significant intelligence, hut neither has the certainty of source provided by biometrics. By understanding and employing aspects of DOMEX and TECHINT. analysts can better exploit and integrate forensics and FEI into the overall BEl intelligence picture.

## Section Ii- Forensic-Enabled Intelligence (U)

4-33. (U) 13EI and rEI con tribute to minimizing anonymity and positively identifying individuals in both military operations tmd nutional-interest-relmed business functions. Forensics in valves the scientific analysis of linking persons, places, things and events.

4-34. (U) Forensic-enabled *inlellir.:ence* is the intelligence resulting from the integration of scientificall y examined materials and other in formation to establish full characterization, attribution, and the linkage of events, locations, items, signatures, nefarious intent and persons of interest (JP 2-0). lt is the result of the evaluation, analysis. and synthesis of forensic data. FEI can provide the ability to identify and characterize possible persons of interest and materiel and link them to organizations, places, things, intentions, and activities. FEI offers critical information supporting commanders and decisionmakers by advancing situational awareness and understanding of the area of operations. Additionally, FE! supports joint staff and force protection concepts by providing information that enables intelligence, targeting, prosecution, personnel recovery. medical. component materiel sourcing and other wartighting functions throughout the range of military operations.

4-35. (U) Forensic collection includes, but is not limited to, latent fingerprints and DNA. Such collection can occur during site exploitation activities hy properly trained personnel. FF.l has a large impact on intelligence operations and. more specifically, BEl by linking individuals to specific events. organizations, or milit<uy threats. FE! is used most extensively during combat operations to support intelligence development as opposed to being used for legal or prosecutorial matters.

## Forensic-Enabled Intelligence Support To Intelligence (U) Chapter 5 Produce (U)

(U) Production is the development of intelligence through the analysis of collected information and existing intelligence. Analysts create intelligence products, conclusionc;, or projections regarding threats and relevant aspects of the operational environment to anc;wer known or anticipated requirements in an effective format.

(Sec ADRP 2-0.) Biometrics and BEl arc critical clements of all-source intelligence that lead to more comprehensive intelligence products and a better understanding of the operational environment.

## Processing, Exploitation, And Dissemination (U)

5-1.

(U) At the most basic level, the intelligence warfighting function observes things about the threat and relevant aspects of the operational environment and collects data that is processed and exploited into useable information for analysis and production, which results in intelligence. Army doctrine has long recognized the functions of processing, initial analysis, and reporting, as well as the requirement for providing combat information. However today, proce.~sing, exploitation, and dissemination (PED)
requirements have grown significantly. There are many different capabilities that support it.

5-2.

(U) PED refers to lhe execution of the related functions that con vert and refine collected data into usable information, distribute the intormation for further analysis, and provide combat information to commanders and staff<;. In essence, PED is the way that the intelligence warfighting function processes co1lected data, performs some initial analysis (exploitation), and provides information in a useable form for further analysis. While performing these functions, some of the information will meet the criteria of combat information. In those cases, the combat information is disseminated to commanders and staffs per unit standard opt!raling procedures. An important part of PED is ensuring that the information is distributed with adequate context and is formatted to make subsequent analysis easier or to facilitate a better understanding of the combat information. Another important aspect of PED is providing feedback on the effectiveness of the collection relative to the tasking and expected results.

5-].

(U) The Army's current approach toPED reflects a much more deliherate solution to the complexity of intelligence operations and the explosion of available data and information that results from information collection. In the future. the amount of available data and information will continue to grow exponentially.

The Army's new approach to PED includes both a far greater emphasis on resourcing, planning, executing, and maintaining a continuous assessment of PED. This approach toPED is accomplished through various PED capabilitie.~.

5-4.

(U) PED c-apabilities are the personnel. specialized intelligence and communications systems. and software and advanced technologies that execute PED. Other resources are often required to allow PED
capabilities to operate, including bandwidth, databases, and network architecture. PED capabilities can be organic to the intelligence unit, task-organized. or distributed from a centralized location through the network as required.

5-5.

(U) Commanders and staffs resource and prioritize supporting and distributed intelligence capabilities, to include PED capabilities, through thorough staff planning. The ways these capabilities communicate and interoperate are accounted for in the intelligence architecture. Within the intelligence ruchitccturc. PED capabilities arc functionally and technically linked to the intelligence communications networks, data and information repositories, and the military intelligence organizational backbone
(sometime.c; referred to as the foundation layer of the intelligence enterprise). Executing effective biometric activities requires resourcing, planning, and preparing the use of specific biometric PED capabilities.

## Biometric Product Categories (U)

5-6.

(U) Biometric data obtained to meet an intelligence collection requirement results in classified data in some cases, due to the sources and methods used to obtain them. Classified collection operations have significant effects on the design of the supporting architecture-chiefly in the match and store functions.

Classified biometric samples should never be matched or stored in unclassified databases. A subsequent match of an unclassified sample to a classified sample within the database could threaten to reveal the sources and methods by which the classified sample was obtained. (Sec chapter 7 for detailed information on match and stoce functions.)
5-7.

(U) One of the most important elements of exploiting BEl is alerting the original collector to enrollments that result in high-profile biometric matches (for example, those previously discovered by forensics exploitalion learns at lED sites). Analysts receive match reports ufter each subsequent enrollment of an individual's biometric information into ABIS. An enrollment with a confirmed forensic match of latent prints at an lED explosion site can prove very important. This BEl feedback enables commanders to make better operational decisions based on current operational conditioos and highlights the importance of collectors adhering to enrollment standards that ensure good hiometric collections.

5-8.

(U) BEl products are characterized in terms of timeliness. The three categories of products are immediate, curre11t and strategic.

## Iml\Tiedia Te Bel Products (U)

5-9.

(U) Immediate BEl products result from biometric data collected at the point of encounter and compared to previously created biometric tiles stored in the local database. Products support the commander's decisionmaking in real time-for example, a decision whether to detain or not detain. The match is 1imited hy the 1ocal database information on when, where, and unde what circumstance.'\ the individual was encountered.

## Current Bel Producfs (U)

5-10. (U) Current BEl products are not as timely as immediate products. Analysts use current products to combine contextual data with other all-source information. The reports are disnibuted and match reports are analyzed before uploading into BI2R. Results produce cutTent intelligence products, such as a biometric identification analysis report (BIAR). These are entered into the BI2R and are appended to the individual's biometrically linked identity intelligence profile (BLIIP).

## Strategic Bel Products (U)

5-11. (U) Strategic BEl products can be developed in any format and generated at all echelons. Strategic products are typically long-term studies but can be completed within a shorter period, depending on the requirements. BLIIPs are combined with products of other intelligence disciplines to support broader analytical products including, but not limited to, network analysis, geospatial analysis, IPB, named areas of interest, and density plot overlays.

## Processing Biometric Modalities (U)

5-12. (U) Biometric samples obtained from a live enrollment U!-ting a tactical handheld biometric coUcction device can be compared and matched against samples stored in a database or against the BEWL. This match allows the collector to make an immediate decision based on the commander's guidance and established standard operating procedures. To be considered fully exploited. the coiJected biometric data must continue through the entire biometric process and all-source analysis. (See appendix B for more information about modalities. See paragraphs 5-31 through 5-39 for information on BEWLs.)

## Fingerprints And Dna (U)

5-13. (U) Site exploitation can involve collecting latent biometric samples. A *latent sample,* most frequently a fingerprint, is dormant, inactive, or nonevident biometric residue that is collected, measured, and stcred. Latent biometric samples are those that are left behind on materiel or surfaces. Once the latent biometric samples are collected, they are processed and compared. The compruison may occur at multiple levels, from tactical to national.

5-14. (U) In the case of latent fingerprints and latent DNA, the samples are collected and formatted in a tactical setting. These samples are processed and catalogued at the joint force regional forensic center or at an equivalent expeditionary forensic laboratory.

r
(b)(3)
5-16. (FOUO) DNA collections fall into one of three categories: questioned, unknown, or referenced sample from a Jive, known individual. Samples are first processed by a forensic lab, such as the Defense Forensic Science Center or the Armed Forces DNA Identification Lahoratory. The resulting DNA profiles are then compared and stored in DNA databases at those locations. Comparison results, such as matching or DNA associations, are generated and disseminated to the submitting agency for use in exploitation, analysis, and intelligence production.

## Facial Images (U) Iris Images (U) Comparison (U)

5-19. (U) Comparison begins with receipt of the collected, standardized biometric file-the recognition biometric sample. The comparison activity is commonly referred to as the "match" or "matching" action.

The comparison process involves comparing a biometric reference with a previously stored reference, or references. in order to identify or verify the identity of a person.

## Bel Products (U)

5-29. (U) BEl products are used increasingly to support Army operations. The following BEl products are currently in use at all levels. Many of these biometric products are requested from the National Ground Intelligence Center or Defense Intelligence Agency. BET products support analy.;;ts during lPB, the MDMP, and targeting. As the field of biometrics and BEl matures. these product types may change or be eliminated as needed.

## Biometric Analysis Package (U)

5-30. (U) The biometric analysis package serves as a detailed analysis on a particular individual or event of interest. It provides a geospatial depiction of all known locations for the subject and the subject's associates. A package highlights biometric links among individuals operating within the subject's territory.

It also lists other watch-listed individuals whom the subject may have known or have information about, based on the proximity of enrollments. Primarily used for operational planning. this product can include biometric named. areas of interest specifically tailored to the purpose of encountering the individual. (See paragraphs 7-33 and 7-34 for details on the biometric named area of interest.)

## Biometrically Enabled Watch List (U)

5-31. (U) A biometricCllly enabled l..utch *li:st* is any list of persons of interest with individuals identified by biometric sample or the sample's unique identification number instead of by name, and the desired or recommended disposition instructions for each individual. BEWLs are used for screening purposes. The identification number, or biometric reference number, is the unique number assigned by an authoritative database. Examples of identification numbers are the transaction control number that ABIS assigns to each biometric sample and the global unique identifier assigned to each biometric file in BAT -A.

5-32. (U) Biometric support to developing watch lists is similar to intelligence support to target development. (See ADRP 2-0 and FM 7-15.) BEl is incorporated into all-source analysis of potential persons of interest, resulting in a documented and Vdlidated nomination of a person of interest to a tactical, operational, DOD, a national-level watch list for identification, screening, locating, tracking, or interdiction purposes.

5-33. (U) The DOD BEWL is a decision aid to help commanders determine what action to take when encountering a person of interest. In some areas of responsibility and theaters of operations, the DOD
BEWL provides basic recommendations tor each person of interest encountered. Persons of interest are assigned to a tier on the DOD BEWL. Each tier has recommended actions associated with it. Examples of recommendations include detain, deny training or benefits, deny access to U.S. facilities, and track or assess. (See appendix C for an eJtample of guidance associated with BEWL tiers.) The track or assess recommendation is an analytic trigger that alerts the relevant intelligence staff that a person encountered may be a person of interest.

5-34. (U) A BEWL itself is different from the reference databases that house the biometric files of the individuals on the BEWL. For example, the DOD BEWL currently uses three reference biometric databases: ABIS, BAT-A, and the Department of Homeland Security Automated Biometric Identification System (IDENT). Each of these databases contains a different set of files that the DOD BEWL draws from.

(See appendix C for examples and more information about watch list tiers and categories.)

## Dod Biometrically Enabled Watch List Interfaces (U)

5-35. (U) The DOD BEWL is maintained within BI2R by the Identity Intelligence Division of the National Ground Intelligence Center. Biometric samples of individuals on the *DOD* BEWL generate an automatic alert v.~thin ABIS, BAT-A, Next Generation Identific.ation, IDEN'r. and biometric matching systems within the governments of select foreign partners.

## Unit Respomibilities (U)

5-36. (U) The fields and tiers within a BE\VL are tailored to applicable areas of operations. This structure is also tailored to mission requirements by each geographic combatant command. Each unit should assign a BEWL manager from the intelligence staff, including the company intelligence support team (COIST) at the company level, in order to maintain an accurate BEWL registry. BEWL manager duties include-

-
Developing an operational watch list structure, within the limits of the local governing rules of
engagement or security agreements, that corresponds with the DOD BEWL's basic actionable
categories of dt!lain, deny, or track. (A watch list structure may include such details as tiers,
recommendations, and standard operating procedures.)
-
Developing and maintaining a watch list that encompasses subordinate units' watch 1ists.
-
Assuring that persons of interest included on the watch list have at least one collected biometric
sample.
-
Coordinating any nominations tor the watch list with the next higher command on a regulm
schedule.

## Lvianaging The Biometrics-Enabled Watch List At Each Echelon (U)

5-37. (U) Bl2R's ability to create specialized subsets of BEWL files allows combatant command and joint task force intelligence staffs to manage unit and regional BEWL~ based on criteria that meet host-nation agreements and the local commander's intent.

## Nomination And Removal Procedure (U)

5-38. (U) Any intelligence community organizatioo or combatant command can nominate an individual for addition to or removal from the BEWL. BEWL managers need to review regularly the tier or level and alert status of the persons of intere..c;t within their area of operations. Prior to nominating un individual to the watch list, the nominating unit determines whether the individual meets the prerequisite..~ for inclusion on the watch list and recommends the appropriate tier to higher headquarters or appropriate BEWL manager.

Tiers are tailored according to combatant command, joint force, and Defense Intelligence Agency guidance. When appropriate, the Naliooal Ground futelligence Center nominates persons of interest to the national watch list programs through the Defense Intelligence Agency. Agencies consider the following when making nominations:

-
The final criteria for inclusion, taking into account applicable agreements and host-nation laws.
-
At a minimum, nominations must have a collected biometric sample.
-
The nominated biometric sample must be marked as de..liignated by ABIS to facilitate the
sample's placement in the ABIS database.
-
Nominations must meet the justifiable criteria tor the specific tier to which the individual is
nominated.
-
Nomination of U.S. persons must be handled in accordance with AR 381-10.
5-39. (U) Units establish procedures for removing individuals from the watch list or downgrading the tier they are assigned to. These actions are triggered by a change in an individual"s threat level, status, or the rules of engagement. Normally, individuals removed from tiers one (detail) or two (question) meet the criteria for placement on tier four (deny access). Individuals removed from tier three (assess) may be placed at other tiers or removed from the watch list completely. However. procedures should address when to coordinate with the appropriate intelligence analyst regarding a tier three individual. Prior to changing an individual's status, the unit determines whether the individuaJ meets the prerequisites for the new tier, using established criteria. The unit then recommends to highrr headquarters the appropriate tier or complete removal. (See appendix C for more information on tiers.)

## BiometricFocused Area Study (U)

5-40. (U) The biometric-focused area study is a detailed research document that focuses on a specific area
(such as a village, district, or province) or a specified route. The product is designed to assist ln operational planning and increase the unit's knowledge of the type of threat individuals in the area and of the indigenous population. A study displays the following:

-
Biometric enrollments of individuals m the BEWL, with accompanying biographical data.
-
Density plots of forensically exploited captured enemy documents, media, Wld materiel.
-
Individuals who have matched to cases of interest.
-
A biometric network analysis chart highlighting individuals who are biometrically associated to
the same evidence.

## Biometric Intelugence Analysis Report (U)

5-41. (U) A BIAR is an intelligence product that associates a match with an individual in the biometric database. It is produced by sorting, analyzing, and linking the match, the individual's histocy, and related information and intelligence. A BIAR contains the identification, background, and assessment of the intelligence value of the subject. The report is produced for all high-value latent matches, other high-threat matches, and matches from speci tied areas. BIARs may be requested directly from the National Ground Intelligence Center. (Figure 5-J on page 5-8 depicts an example of a training BIAR.)

## Biometrically Linked Identity Intelligence Profile (U)

5-42. (U) A BUIP is a card view of a search result. It contains links to all other files with the same biometric identification. An individual may have multiple BLIIPs, one for each encounter. A photograph of the individual is located on the profile, and the color of the surrounding box is a visual indicator of the individuars alert status. (Figure 5-2 oo page 5-9 displays a training example of a BUIP.)

## Biometric Placement And Access Package (U)

5-43. (U) The biometric placement and access package is a product based on the successful law enforcement line-up principle. Human intelligence (HUMINT) collectors use the line-up as one tool for assessing a particular source's knowledge of other persons of interest and their involvement in known networks. The line-up can also assist in vetting by helping determine if the source in question is providing false information.

5-44. (U) A biometric placement. and access package displays photographs and biographical data of known associates of an individual or individuals of intere.~t who may operate in the same area as the subject in question. Photographs of known associates to a particular person of intere.~t are seeded with random photographs of individuals not associated with that person. The source is then asked to pick the person of interest or people associated with that person out of the line-up.

These packages are prepared to assist host-nation law enforcement personnel and judicial bodies and are admissible in court.

5-51. (U) Although not a pure biometrics-enabled product, the waiTant support package is suppocted by BEl and contains releasable data from an event or series of events biometrically linked to an individual.

The information contained in a warrant support package includes a timeline and data about each of the linked biometric collection events. The collection events can include data of all modalities, including fingerprints, DNA, and unknown latent fingerprints recovered fiom collected materials. The final piece of the warrant support package exhibits the results of the examination and identification determined by the biometric collection devices. \Varrant support packages are submitted to a nonintelligence, courtrecognized su~iect matter expert, who testifies concerning the information included in the package. Once a package is accepted. an arrest waJTant is signed and served.

## Chapter 6 Disseminate (U)

(U) Commanders must receive combat information and intelligence products in enough time and in an appropriate format to facilitate situational understanding and support decisionmaking. BEl products that are disseminated include biometric files, comparison results, encounter-tracking reports, alerts, transaction data, enterprise metrics, and BEl data and products to appropriate personnel.

## Biometric Enterprise Architecture (U)

6-1.

(U) Biometric files are shared through DOD-approved biometric data exchange portals and other sharing systems. DOD, interagency, and multinatia1al partners share files as mutually agreed upon or otherwise allowed by law and policy. Biometric sharing agreements with partner nations may have caveats as to how, when and with whom biometric data may be shared. Commanders should obtain appropriatelevel legal review before sharing biometric files or matdl results to ensure compliance with law, policy, and foreign agreements.

6-2.

(U) TI1e DOD biometric enterprise architecture transmits files using various networks and across various domains. These networks and domains can change or be updated as necessary to support specific current operations or capability needc;. The architecture provides fast, continuous global communications to all echelons. It gives Army forces an identification and verification capability. In additioo, it further enables cross-functional analysis with information derived from intelligence disciplines such as signals intelligence and HUMINT. A biometric system, with its supporting automation, directly or indirectly is an intelligence information collection and processing capability that provides information to analysts.

r-----------------------------------

## (B) (3)

Note. (U) Intelligence databases arc subject to intelligence oversight and the Privacy Act of 1974
with regard to any U.S. person information they may contain. EO 12333, DOD 5240.1-R, and AR 381-10 govern the collection, retention, and dissemination of information oo U.S. persons. If information on U.S. persons is encountered, such intbrmation must be annotated in the fields provided in the biometric enrollment system so intelligence analysts can handle the data properly pursuant to intelligence oversight handling requirements.

6-4.

(U) Due to classification and need-to-know limitations, not all interested parties have access to complete biometric files and BEl products. Some databases may require the analyst to request a usemame and password. The output of the BEl process frequently includes recommendations for commanders and Soldiers. BEl analysis can influence, but not direct, decisionmakers and commanders.

## Biometric Dataflow (U)

6-6.

(U) Figure 6-1 depicts the biometric data flow as it occurs from the tactical level of operations through the strategic level, across different systems and domains. TI1e figure illustrates the data flow from single collection capabilities through tactical biometric collection points, to processing and analysis activities, and the return of results to customers at all levels. It include.~ classified and unclassified biometric information.

6* 13. (U) The most important consumer of BEl is the commander. \Vhen the collection of biometric.~ is part of the intelligence and operatimal planning phases and BEl is fully integrated into the all-source intelligence picture, the commander has better situationallUlderstanding. Commanders determine how they want to receive BEl, but generaJly analysts provide it in written narrative, verbal narrative, or in the recommended graphic format.

## Chapter 7 Analyze And Assess (U)

(U) Analysis contributes to assessing threat capabilities and vulnerabilities. Biometric collection efforts are cyc1ical. As part of all-source intelligence development, collected biometric data is evaluated, analyzed, and combined with other information and intelligence for a complete intelligence picture.

## Evaluating, Analyzing, And Synthesizing Bel Into All- Source Intelligence (U)

7-1.

(U) Successfully developing BEl requires a good grasp of the larger intelligence picture when incorporating biometric data into it. Army forces conduct operations based on all-source intelligence assessments and products developed by the echelon intelligence staffs. All-source *intelligence* is the integratioo of intelligence and information from all relevant source..l:l in order to analyze situations or conditioos that impact operations (ADRP 2-0). All-source intelligence is used to develop the intelligence products necessary to aid situational understanding, support the development of plans and orders, and answer information requirements. Although all-source intelligence normally takes longer to produce, it is more reliable and less susceptible to deception than single-source intelligence. AU-source analysis is continuous and occurs throughout the intelligence process.

7-2.

(U) *Intelligence analysis* is the process by which collected information is evaluated and integrated with existing information to facilitate intelligence production (ADRP 2-0). This process is dynamic and continuously integrates new and existing information throughout the effort. It also ensures that all information goes through a logical, criterion-based process of determining its value prior to updating existing assessments. (See ATP 2-33.4 fo1 additional intormatim on intelligence analysis.) The steps of intelligence analysis are-

-
Evaluate-when the data of reporting are assigned a value respective to the source and
application of the data.
-
Analy7.e-when data rrom information reports is dissected into each suhcomponent of the
report.
-
Synthesize-when the data is combined with previous holdings to update existing products,
change previously accepted assessments, corroborate existing assessments, or create new
assessments.
7-3.

(U) BEl is a product of biometric information, threat information, and other information relating to the operational environment. By evaluating, analyzing, and synthesizing all of these elements, the analyst can produce better BEl. Figure 7-1 on page 7-2 displays the components of intelligence and intormatim to consider when developing BEl. The components displayed are not all-inclusive-analysts need to determine what information is relevant to their situation by understanding the commam.ler"s intent and information requirements. When biometric information is evaluated, analyzed, and synthesized with allsource intelligence within the intelligence process, it allows the intelligence staff to develop a more complete picture of the threat. BEl aids commanders in making decisions about targeting and protection by identifying individuals or verifying individual identities.

7-4.

(U) The BEl :malyticnl components contribute to the development of BEl products and rue integrated into the intelligence process. Biometric data is only one source of information; however, when it is combined with all-source intelligence. the analyst has a much better probability of answering identityreluted quc.stioos a ~ well as t:ommamlt:rs' inlt>rrnation n:quiremenls.

7-5.

(U) BEl analysis can be triggered by the comparative response fiom either a local database or ABlS.

In general. analysis begins in one of three ways:

-
In response to the results of the comparison or match action.
-
In response to a biometri L: enrollment.
-
Because of a requirement to locate data tor a person of interest.
7-6.

(U) Biometric information adds a titctual layer of data or intelligence to the analysis process by providing positive identification or verification of the identities of persons of interest. Once the biomeuic layer is in place. tailored overlays can provide further data and informatioo to incorporate into the synthesis and integration efforts. Bomb-maker information. social network analysis, threat unit verific<11ion, battle damage assessment. and information received fiom parmer nations are examples of information that are L:ombined with the faciUal biometriL: layer to t:onstruL:l a tailon::tl ovt:rlay.

7-7.

(U) As collection against a target occurs, additional analytical efforts by both the intelligence and operations staffs can identify other members of the network and seek key nodes identified by biometric data. Wh en an identification is made, the individuals composing the network are nominated for placement on a BEWL and the network itself is targeted tor furU1er collection activity.

7-8.

(U) Fundamental intelligence analysis does not change because of different environments. When analysts undersumd the operational environment and commander's requirements, they can actively collect information, including biometrics and forensics, and analyze that information in the context of history, capabilities, current situation, and threat objectives. Analysts focus efforts on how they can employ biometric intormation effectively and develop it into OEI.

7-9.

(U) Analysis produces intelligence that, along with staff recommendations, aids commanders in deciding whether <Ul intli vidual is friendly, neutral, unknown, or adversary. Catt:gorizing persons in U1is manner helps commanders quickly provide enough guidance for Soldiers to make decisions and act on the information provided.

7- l 0. (U) Figure 7-2 displays the process that biometric data goes through when entered into a database such as AB!S. A biometric sample is entered into U1e database for current and future reference. Analysts access and evaluate biometric files and their data to support intelligence activities such as situation development, support to targeting. and all-source production.

## Biometric Analysis (U)

7-1 1. (U) The analyze activity draws heavily on the match and store actions of the biometric automated process. (See paragraphs 2-6 through 2- 11.) The analyst's objective is to link or associate the data that has been mined tiom an authoritative database with data collected !Tom a biometric enrollment. Linking occurs when associated data are connected to a biometric sample. Successful linking results in U1e conclusion mat two or more seemingly disparate identity characteristics belong to me same person. Factors involved in biometric analysis include U1e following:

-
The type of biometric database response to me query.
-
The collection capability used.
-
The type of biometric storage site queried.
-
The results of biomeuic searched undertaken in response to a query.

## Biometric Database Responses (U)

7~ 12. (U) Four twes of responses can be received from the DOD authoritative database (ABIS):

-
Match.
-
No-match/single encounter.
-
Uncertain.
-
Error.

## Match(U)

7-13. (U) A *match* is a comparison determination that a newly entered biometric sample or samples and the biometric reference are from the same source. The enrolJments may be from various sources, such as a biometric device collection (fingerprint. iris image, or facial image}, latent fingerprint coJlection, or inked fingerprint cards.

## No-Match/Single Encounter (U)

7-1.4. (U) A *no-match/single encounter* is a comparison determination that a newly entered biometric sample or samples and the biometric reference are not fiom the same source. The biometric system creates a new biometric file containing the sample or samples. Encountering and enrolling the individual again based on a different sample will result in a biometric match 'lhith that file. Analysis based on a single enrollment can be used to generate inclusion on a BEWL in certain cases (such as, latent prints connected with TEDs or other high-level crimec;, positively identified high-value individuals, or positively identified associated individuals).

## U Ncertaln (U)

7-15. (U) An *uncettain* response indicates that an automated determination cannot be made. Biometric match algorithms provide only a probability that two reference tiles match. Because the match threshold is adjustable, the comparison result may be too weak to respond with an automated match result (The match threshold is the probability score at which a result is accepted as a match and below which a nomatch/single encounter result is returned.) In ABIS. trained biometric examiners review uncertain match candidates ami match or determine them as a no-match or single encounter.

## Error (U)

7-16. (U) An *error* response is returned if there has been a processing error.
Note. (U) DOD DNA matches are processed outside of ABIS. In addition, facial and latent print matche.~ are not automated and require a human examiner to make a determination.

## Biometric Collecfion Capabilities (U)

7-17. (U) There are numerous biometric collection capabilities that enter biometric data into ABIS. To identify which no-match/single encounter and match report~ are relevant, it is helpful for the analyst to have un understanding of the types of biometric collection devices or sensors. For example, BAT -A is a commonly used device employed in various settings, from employment screenings to enrollments of detainees.

## Determining. Significance Of A Match (U)

'
(U) Often, a no-matctl/single-encounter response from BAT-A is. insignificant.

However, a match report from .a BAT-A collecting data at a detention facility with a BAT-A enrollment for access may signify a potential protection threat.

(U) In this example,, a. particular combination indicates that a d,etained individual had also undergone an employment screening or request for base access. Several factors determine the significance of a biometric match, such as chronology and the identification date, or the date the match was made. In this example, the two BAT-A
matches would be more signifi<:;ant.ifthe BAT-A enrollmentat the detention facility occurred prior to the B~T-A ehrollmemt'for access . This understandin~ is importan~
for BEl analysis. Analysts must understand the operational context to know how. to apply BEl to the specific missiqn.

...

## Biometric Storage Sources (U)

7-18. (U) A *biometric storage source* is a database and infrasrructure that stores biometric files. Storage requirements can be as complex as a data megacenter or as simple as a handheld device. When performing anulysis, it is important to understand where the biometric data is coming from so the analyst can estimate its accuracy. There are three types of biometric storage sources:

-
Authoritative.
-
Local trusted.
-
Local untrusted.

## Authoritative Sources (U)

7-19. (U) An *authoritathe source* is a Department-of-Defense-approved repository of biometric intbrmation. DOD may designate more than one authcritative source for various populations, as allowed by applicable law, policy, and direct.ives. All DOD operational applications are designed to acquire biometric files from the appropriate authcritative source. ABIS is the primary DOD authoritative source. It provides a strategic capability for access to stamlardi:ted, comprehensive, ami cw-renl biometric files within DOD. It also alJows for sharing biometric files with joint, interagency, and designated multinational partners.

## Local Tr~Ted Sources (U)

7-20. (U) A *local trusted source* is a subset of an authoritative source that is established at the operational level to accomplish a specific function in support of a mission. Reasons for establishing a local trusted source include insufficient network connectivity able to provide adequate access to the authoritative source or an operational need for closed-loop access or permission application.

## Local U Ntrusted Sources (U)

7-21. (U) A *local tmtrusted source* is a local repository of biometric files that have not been enrolled with an authoritative or local trusted source. In many cases, local untrusted sources are established for missions of short duration or to satisfy political, policy, or legal restrictions related to sharing of biometric data. A
host-natioo fingerprint file is an example of a local untrusted source. Because of the potential unreliability of the information in local untrusled :;oun.:es, they should be used sparingly and only when ab:;olutely necessary.

## Biometric Searches (U)

7-22. (U) Although a biometric match might be the starting point tbr analysis, other intelligence reports may lead an analyst to search the appropriate databases to determine whether a person of interest has a biometric file. Locating a biometric file enables the analyst to obtain further information on the individual and, if warranted, to nominate the individual for placement on the BEWL.

7-23. (U) Some biometric systems allow analysts the ability to search databases containing different types of biomeLric informatiun such as biometric characleristics associated data, and conLextual data simultaneously.

(b) (3)
(b) (3)
7-24. (U) BI2R also provides links to individuals associated with the person identified by a biometric file.

This capability is helpful in confirming whether a particular biometric file belongs to the individual sought

## Det~Rrnill.I,R-.GC1~. Lde.~Tity Th.R()Ug~ Li11~S (U).

(U) A HUM INT report lists an individuai~s ass()ciates by name. BI2R is searched and
a biometric file beUevedJo be that ot the individual is linked .to other individuals also
mentioned inthEfreport:,:. .



(U) Further analy~is may confirm. that the biometric fiie belongs to the subject of. the
HUM INT report. Bl2~~ querie~: ~re conduct~d using Identification numbers,.. names,
and keywords. An enhanced s~arch technique program can be used to further refine
the query if the analyst knows more detailed data about the individual. Such data
might be the specific location of a previous captureorthe place of birth.

## Linking Biometric Files With Reporting (U)

7-25. (U) All related reporting is attached to the biometric file in BI2R to provide a histrry of encounters and interactions with that person. For example, if an individual is captured as a result of intelligence reporting linking the individual to insurgent activity, the following tasks occur: the individual's biometric samples are collected, a biometric file is created or updated, and the intelligence reporting that led to the targeting of the individual is linked to that biometric file. If the actual reporting document cannot be attached to the biometric file. the associated reporting should be referenced within that tile. Associated documents greatly assist the analyst in conducting a more thorough and accurate BEl assessment
7-26. (U) Collectors may also input additional data during biometric enrollments. Examples of additional data include-

-
Scanned images of any identification cards.
-
Pocket litter.
-
Names and identification numbers of any other individuals detained at the same time and
location.
-
A significant activity report detailing the events of the capture.
-
Photographs taken during the capture.
7-27. (U) Following the BEl process a11ows analysts to link intelligence with biometrically derived contextual data rutd a biometric sample to generate an all-source product. (Sec figure 2-2 on page 2-4.) To complete analysis, analysts may perform further research to locate other related reporting on the individual or network of interest. Informatioo is available across NIPRNET, SIPRNET, and JWICS. Common databases and Web sites used to conduct biometric research are listed in appendix A.

7-28. (U) One technique for linking biometric information with reporting is creating persistent files. A
persistent file correlates the biometric and associated data with other available information on an individual. The file a11ows derogatory reporting to follow the individual throughout the detention cycle, helping to prevent inadvertent or a premature releases of high-threat individuals.

## Analyzing Detainee Information (U)

7-29. (U) Detention operations are a function of the military police community. Detainees frequently possess valuable. even indispensable, information that intelligence anal)'"Sts need for developing the current situation and for answering priority intelligence requirements. Because of this, biometric enrollments of detainees should always be evaluated. \Vith an account and the appropriate privileges, analysts can access a detainee tracking system, which may maintain tiles of tens of thousands of detainees in holding areas and joint force detention facilities. Moreover. analysts should develop positive working relationships with personnel working at detention facilities, such as military police and HUMINT collectors. These relationships are especially useful during counterinsurgency and stability operations.

7-30. (U) A detainee tracking and management system capability is a Web-accessible automated information system that provides data to analysts seeking informatioo of intelligence value. An inttmmmt serial number is generated whenever an individual is interned in a detention facility. providing a common reference number in associated biometric collection devices and detainee management systems. The information in this management system is used to track detainees within and between detainment facilities, as well as record their daily events and other information. such as medical problems, visitor requests, and behavioral prohlems. (See FM 3-63 for more information ahout detainee operations.)
7-31. (U) Information such as familial associations, biographical data, and associated capture tags are recorded when a detainee is biometrically enrolled with a BAT -A. This data is then stored in the detainee's biometric file, which can be accessed by the detainee tracking and management capability. Detainee information that is useful to an analyst evaluating biometric data includes-

-
Capture tags.
-
Screening information.
-
Property analysis.
-
Interrogation plans and summaries.
-
Intelligence in tormation reports.
-
Legal adjudication intbrmation.

## Analytic Support Tools And Tasks (U)

732. (U) Analytic support tools reduce the time needed to analyze and identify an individual who is a threat or may have intelligence value. These systems and tools are used to provide feedback to the collector, analyst, and consumer about the identity of the individual and on whether further action is necessary. The intelligence staff uses these tools to support recommendations to the commanda and operations staft: The information gained about an individual can lead to other insights too, such as threat units in the area, battle damage assessment, threat tactics and techniques, and threat objectives or goals.

Obtaining the information needed to produce intelligence through analysis depends on continuous and methodical planning and evaluation throughout the intelligence process. Ultimately, the analyst decides which tools are most effective for the operational environment. Some of the tools used and tasks performed include-

-
Biometric named area of interest products.
-
Targeting.
-
Event templates and event manices.
-
Un k diagrams.
-
Density plot map overlays.
-
Battle damage assessment charts.
-
Database analysis.

## Biometric Named Areas Of Interest Products (U)

7-33. (U) A named area of *interest* is the geospatial area or systems node or link against which informatim that will satisfy a specific information requirement can be collected, usually to capture indications of adversary course\\ of action (JP 2-01.3). Named areas of interec;t may also be related to conditions of the operational environment. Analysis of significant events and the geospatia1ly tagged data helps determine areas where biometric collection efforts would be most usdul. These areas are designated as named areas of interest. They are combined with other intelligence informatim to create biometric named area of interest proclucts.

734. (U) A biometric named area of interest product is designed for the purpose of driving targeted biometric enrollments. This product consists of a recommended area of interest, a list of persons of interest believed to be in that area, and supporting analytical products. Analysts incorporate all-source capabilitiessuch as HUMINT, significant activities, forensically exploited evidence, and the location of biometric enrollments-to develop a product that provides recommendations as to where units are most likely to encounter persons of interest. While primarily used to recommend areas where biometric enrollments should be conducted, the biometric named area of interest product is also used to identify areas where the co11ection of evidence is a priaity in order to identify individuals involved in threat activity. The final product provides analysis on the recommended named areas of interest, highlights individuals who have either been enrolled or have been biometrically matched to evidence within that area, and contains various density maps that outline the data used to conduct the analysis.

## Targeting (U)

135. (U) Intelligence Support to Targeting and Information Superiority is the task of providing the commander informatioo and intelligence support for targeting letha] and nonlethal actions. (See PM 715.)
Biometric information and BEl are critical contributors to targeting. They provide initial targets and persons of interest based on researched databases and detailed IPB. During combat operations, biometrics can verify the identity of individuals who would otherwise be considered noncombatant civilians, which can ultimately lead to the targeting of additional threat individuals.

## Event Templates And Event Matrices (U)

7-36. (U) Event templates and matrices support biometric collection and BEl by displa}ing how a certain threat entity normally behaves during a specific set of circumstances in time and space. Event templates and matrices ensure a consistent and well-reasoned portrayal of threat capabilities throughout planning.

They are critical in tying information collection and the supported unit's concept of operations together. By understanding and utilizing event templates and matrices, analysts can provide better information for the intelligence staff to use in biometric collection planning. Better planning contributes to more effective collection which, in tum, leads to more timely and relevant analysis.

## Link Diagrams (U)

7-37. (U) Link diagrams enable the process of identifying and analyzing relationships amoog personnel, contacts, associations, events, activities, organizations, and networks to determine significant links.

Analysts use link analysis to determine who is involved, how they are involved, and their significance concerning a particular situation. Some types of link analysis tools include-

-
Association matrices.
-
Activity matrices.
-
Link diagrams.
-
Network diagrams.
7-38. (U) When performing link analysis, a biometric match result supports targeting and interrogations. A
biometric match can be instrumental in enabling and supporting an all-source analytical conclusion regarding associations and linkages. (See ATP 2-33.4 for link analysis techniques.)

## Density Plot 1.\Iap 0Verla Ys (U)

7-39. (U) A density plot map is a geospatial tool (overlay or template) that depicts areas of concern for a given activity, such as lED events, biometric enrollments, and watch list encounters. Density plots are symbols depicting events, situations, personnel, organizations, and installations with the supporting data needed to enable users to display and understand the symbols. The tool is used as an all-source analysis aid and is not specific to biometrics.

## Battle Damage Assessment (U)

7-40. (U) Battle damllge *c1ssessmenl* is the estimate of damage composed of physical and functional damage assessment, as well as target system assessment, resulting from the application of lethal or noolethal military force (JP 3-0). Battle damage assessment is one of the most important and difficult tasks an analyst performs. It is important because accurately determined battle damage assessment can reveal current enemy strengths and vulnerabilities. It is difficult because determining the amount of equipment destroyed, the number of enemy captured, or the level of degradation inflicted on an enemy unit can be very cha11enging. Biometrics and BEl can contribute to this task by, for example, verifying the identity of an enemy prisoner of war with direct knowledge of the attack being assessed. BEl can also verify the identitie.~ of deceased personnel in a target area, confirming the death of threat leaders and other high-value individuals.

## Database Analysis (U)

7-41. (U) Databases such as BI2R are vital to BEl analysis. Real-time collaboration, detailed operational planning, and planning requirements and asse.~sing collection, as we11 as enhanced collection and source exploitation tools, all support analysis. Emerging technology is increasing the value and relevance of the BEl analysis system.

## Assessing Bel Activities (U)

7-42. (U) Assessment is an activity of the operations process. For intelligence purposes, assessment involves the continuous monitoring and evaluation of the current situation, particularly significant threat activities and changes in the operational environment. A<;sessing the situation begins upon receipt of mission and continues throughout the operation and during all steps of the intelligence process. (See ADRP 2-0.) One source of information used for assessment is feedback.

7-43. (U) Feedback provides intelligence planners, collectors, analysts, and disseminators with the opportunity to improve the BEl process, refine collection and prcxluction requirements and priorities, and capture best practices and lessons learned. Throughout the BEl process, there is continuous assessment based on evaluation and feedback.

7-44. (U) Criteria expressed in the forms of measures of effectiveness and measures of performance aid in making assessments. Measures of effectiveness help determine if a task is achieving its intended results.

Measures of performance help determine if a task is completed properly. (See ADRP 5-0.) Factors to consider when establishing measwes of effectiveness and measures of performance for biometrics and BEl include the following. While this list is not all inclusive, it provides a framework of things to consider when assessing how biometrics are being used to support commanders:

-
Are biometric information and BEl effectively integrated into the planning and directing step of the intelligence process?
-
Are biometric information and BEl effectively integrated into the information collection plan?
-
Do biometric information and BEl contribute to answering commanders intelligence
requirements?
-
Do biometric resources (such as, BAT A, tactical handheld biometric collection devices, and the
biometric architecture) meet unit needs?
-
Are Soldiers collecting biometrics as specified in DOD standards?
-
Do biometric collection efforts negati veJ y impact local perceptions of friendly operations? (No is
good.)
-
Are biometric data and BEl disseminated in a timely manner and to the appropriate personnel
and units?
-
Do positive relationships exist with other biometric personnel, organizations, and agencies?
-
Is full advantage taken of other agencies' biometric capabilities?
-
Are biometric lessons learned disseminated?
-
Are changes made based on disseminated le.~sons learned?
7-45. (U) Once biometric data has been disseminated, analysts maintain visibility on specific persons of interest as part of continuous assessment. Additionally. metrics in the form of measures of performance and measures of effectiveness arc available through biometric systems and databases to assess the entire range of BEl activities. These can answer questions like-

-
How wc11 do the analysts and collectors perform?
-
Are d1e cmalysts and collectors doing d1e right things to achieve the desired outcome?

## Part Three Biometric Considerations For Different Missions And Operations (U) Chapter 8 Bel Support To Decisive Action (U)

(U) Army forces conduct decisive and sustained land operations through the simultaneous combination of offensive, defensive, and stability operations (or defense support of civil authorities within the United States and its territories). This chapter discusses how biometric information and BEl support intelligence development during each of these actions.

## Offense(U)

8-l.

(U) Biometric information and BEl give commanders a better understanding of specific individuals.

civil and military leaders, organizations, and threats to friendly forces. As offensive tasks are executed, newly collected biometric information and BEl from enemy prisoners of war. deceased combatants, site exploitation, and other sources enhance commanders' situational understanding in a fluid environment.

Biometric information and BEl may not be easily collected during offensive tasks; however, they are valuahle intelligence multipliers that should he sought as cirrumstances and resources allow.

8-2.

(U) Generate Intelligence Knowledge is a continuous, user-defined task driven by the commander.

(See FM 7-15.) It begins before mission receipt and provides the relevant knowledge required for the conduct of operations. The information collected und inteJligence produced are refined into knowledge for use in IPB and other mission analysis tasks.

8-3.

(U) It is critical to include biometric intbrmaticn lmd BEl planning during initial IPB to support answering the commander's intelligence requirements during offensive operations. Biometric information and BEl, when integrated into aU-source analysis, helps the intelligent.-e staff do the following:

-
Add clarity to understanding the threat through database research during IPB.
-
Confirm <r deny specific units by identifying select individuals.
-
Confirm or deny threat courses of actions by identifying individuals who are part of specific
units.
-
lden tify military, community, and other leaders in the area of operations.
-
Support targeting of high-value individuals.
-
Confirm identities through deceased individual forensic analysis.
-
Enhance situatirnal development when transitioning to d1e defense or stability operations.
8-4.

(U) Biometric analysis support fi.om other agencies may be difficult for analysts to obtain due to organic intelligence and communications architecture limitations. Intelligence staffS should preload biometric informatioo and BEl historical data. They need to be able to perform analysis and develop intelligence when communications are degraded or lost. A current biometric database, BEWL, and updated biometric collection devices can help achieve this objective.

## Defense(U)

8-5.

(U) Analysts plan how biometrics and BEl support answering commanders' intelligence requirements dw-ing initial IPB and operations and intelligence planning. Biometric collection is easier to execute and BEl easier to develop during the defense. This is because units arc maneuvering less, thus allowing for better collection and exploitation of biometric information. A stable environment also allows for better connectivity and more reliable dissemination procedures. BEl supports defensive tasks through-

-
Recommending surveillance and lethal and nonlethal targeting of high-value individuals.
-
Confirming and denying specific units by identifying select individuals.
-
Confirming and denying threat courses of actions by identifying individuals who are part of
specific units.
-
Identifying military, community, and other leaders in the area of operations.
-
Building a local biometric database, as operations permit.
-
Confirming battle damage assessment and identities through deceased individual forensic
analysis.
-
Enhancing situational development when transitioning to the offense or stability operations.
8-6.

(U) During peace operations, irregular warfare, and military engagement, the conduct of a unit defense is closely related to perimeter defense and base security. The integration of biometric collection and BEl analysis enables success during defensive tasks and a smooth transition to stability operations.

## Stability (U)

8-7.

(U) Army forces have been conducting stability tasks in multiple countries for many decades. As a result, the use of biometric information and the development and use of BEl have evolved considerably.

Biometric information is collected during various tasks common in a stability environment, such as base security operations, village support operations. and traffic control operations. BET is valuable to commanders in a stability environment because it can lend detailed insight into threat individuals, threat groups and aganizations, populaticn attitudes toward friendly forces, and threat characteristics and patterns. When BEl is fused into all-source intelligence during stability operations, it supports the commander's siruational understanding by contributing to a multidisciplined intelligence picture.

8-8.

(U) During stability missions. commanders often require detailed intelligence and IPB products to determine how best to conduct operations and influence the local population. A lack of knowledge concerning insurgents, local politics, customs, culture, ami how to differentiate retween the local population and combatants often leads to actions that can result in unintended and adverse consequences.

Consequences can include attacking unsuitable targets or offending or causing mistrust among the local population. Integrating biometric information as part of all-source analysis during intelligence and operational planning can help set the stage tor success in a stahility environment.

## Defense Support Of Civil Authorities (U)

8-9.

(U) Defense suppm1 of *civil authorities* is support provided by U.S. federal military forces, Depa1tment of Defense civiJians, Department of Defense contract personnel, Deparnnent of Defense component assets, and National Guard tbrces (when the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the governors of the affected states, elects and requests to use those forces in Title 32, United States Code, status) in response to requests for assistance from civil authaities tor domestic emergencies, law enforcement support, and other domestic activities, or from qualifying entities for special events (DODD
3025.18).

8-LO. (U) Four core tasks are associated with defense support of civil authorities:
-
Provide support for domestic disasters.
-
Provide support tor domestic civilian law enforcement agencies.
-
Provide support for domestic chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear incidents.
-
Provide other designated support (national special security events, critical infrastructure
protection, or other events).

## 8-11. (U) Biometric Information Is Most Helpful In Supporting Civilian Law Enforcement Agencies. (See Adrp 3-28 And Atp 2-91.7 For Information On Defense Support Of Civil Authorities.)

Note. (U) All Army intelligence support to civil authorities must be authorized and comply with all laws and regulations, including EO 12333 and AR 381-10.

## Chapter 9 Bel Considerations For Specific Operations, Missions, And Environments (U)

(U) Although many biometric tasks and BEl processes remain constant across the range of military operations, there are special considerations and techniques that are advantageous during specific operations and environments. This chapter contains several vignettes illustrating how biometrics can be a critical enabler of many diverse missions throughout the range of military operations. Analysts need to be aware of the techniques involved in effectively integrating biometrics into the intelligence process, thereby ensuring BEl is included in the overall intelligence picture.

Ultimately, commanders are responsible for ensuring biometrics is integrated into intelligence and operational planning and for ensuring biometric capabilities are fully used. Another aspect of this responsibility is ensuring the unit understandc; and is trained on biometric collection devices.

## Border Operations (U)

(U) This vignette illustrates the following tasks performed using biometrics:
- Identify an individual during tactical operations.
- Locate a person of interest.
 - Track: a. person of fn~er~~, ' ,
- Control phySica(acoess.
'

.,
- Share biometric.information.

## Contracting In A Foreign Nation (U)

9-2.

(U) Contracting in a foreign nation can be complicated; however it is necessary to the success of U.S.

operations. Often there are critical operational support tasks that Army forces may not be able to accomplish effectively themselves. In these cases, commanders attempt to hire local businesses to perform these tasks. Another positive outcome of hiring local businesses is supporting the local economy. However, there are considerations commanders need to be aware of, including how biometrics can support contracting operations.

(U) This vignette illustrates the following tasks performed using biometrics: - Track a person of interest. - Control physicalaccess. - Enable information assurance (authorize access to privileges).
- .Share biometric information~

## Cordon And Search (U)

9-3.

(U) *Cordon and search* is a technique of comlucting a movement to contact that involves isolating a target area and searching suspected locations within that target area to capture or destroy possible enemy forces and contraband (FM 3-90-1). Cordon and search operations take place throughout the range of military operations.

9-4.

(U) There are two primary elements in a cordon and search operation-the cordon element and the search element. Both elements have requirements for biometric and forensic capabilities. The search team may use several approaches to the search itself, including central assembly and restriction to quwters, or control of the heads of households. In each of these approaches. biometric information can be used effectively. The cordon element can set up checkpoints in which traffic control detachments with biometric collection capability are used to screen individuals seeking to enter or leave the cordon area.

9-5.
(U) Planning considerations are-
-
Include hiometric capability insbuctions in operation and fragmentary orders.
-
Plan to perform biometric enrollments and saeening of everyone, if possible.
-
Ensure current watch lists and local alerts are loaded before mission execution.
-
Ensure biometric support Soldiers with traffic control detachments have extra charged batteries
for completion of the mission.
-
Ensure Soldiers are trained in site exploitation activities and have the appropriate equipment.
-
Document and associate all items found dwing site exploitation activities with individuals at the
site.
-
Plan for positive or negative identification of personnel.
-
Coordinate transportation for detained personnel and items found at the site.
-
EnsW'e Soldiers are trained to use the tactical handheld biometric collection device.
-
Use traffic control detachments with biometdc collection capability at checkpoints in the cordon
to canalize traffic.
-
Incorporate biometric information into debriefs.
-
Enroll everyone, to include all wounded in action and killed in action.
-
Conduct internal after action reviews of biometric actions.

## Bel Considerations For Specific Operations, Missions, And Environments (U) For Area Defense (U)

9-6.

(U) Defensive operations can present many challenges and positive opportunities for commanders.

The fact that a unit is conducting defensive operations could mean the commander is facing a lull in the battle and offensive ope1ations will begin again soon, or it could suggest that the unit will transition into stability operations. In both instances, intelligence analysts need to be prepared to integrate biometric information and BEl into intelligence and operational planning.

9-7.

(U) The *area defense* is a defensive task that concentrates on den;ing enemy forces access to designated terrain for a specific time rather than destroying the enemy outright (ADRP 3-90). The following vignette provides an example of how biometrics and BEl can support an area defense.

## Disaster Relief (U)

9-8.

(U) Initial suppmt operations in response to disasters can be challenging. Biometric informatioo can be very useful in helping to identify victims and other personnel encountered during these operations.

(U) This vignette illustrates how biometrics can contribute to managing emergency
1 situations..



## Maritime Interdiction (U)

9-17. (U) As recent operations have shown, Army forces must be prepared to conduct operatioos with other Services and government agencies. It is critical for all of these elements to share biometric information quickly and accurately. Biometric information collected in remote Army operatiooal areas can become critical information and intelligence that supports maritime operations around the world.

(U).Thls vignette illustrates the following tasks performed using biometrics:
- Identify an unknownindividual during tactical operations. - Locate a person ofinterest.
- Track a persoh.of interest.

## Personnel Recovery (U)

9-18. (U) The importance of coJlecting and sharing biometric data throughout the Services and government agencies becomes c1ear when data is used to support personnel recovery operations. Army personnel recovery is the military efforts taken to prepare for and execute the recovery and rein tegratioo of isolated personnel (FM 3-50). Recovery operations may be planned or occur in conjunction with other operations. A
unit may be actively seeking a U.S. service person held as a prisoner or a hostage in Wl area, or may simply find them in the course of an operation. (See FM 3-50 for personnel recovery doctrine.)

## .P~Rsonnel Recov(!!Ry.Vignette. (U)

(U). U.S. Government, D()D, . multinational, and ,nongovernmental .. organization~
personnel are conducting stability operations in a country coping with insurgent
activity. Several civilians have been abducted.
(U) A U.S. special operations force team receive~ information from intelligence
sources concerning the location ofa U.S. civilian contractor who has been held by
insurgents for nearly 30 days.
(U) Since the captive is a. u.s~: person, the operational commander requests the
biometric file on . the captive. The data is provided and downloaded to the unit's
tactical handheld biometric collection devices.

(U) Tasks achieved using biorl1etncs during this operation are-
- Identify an individual during tactical operations.;
- Locate a person of interest.
- Identify friendly forces.

## Protection (U)

9-19. (U) *Protection* is the preservation of the effectiveness and survivability of mission-related military and nonmilitary personnel, equipment, facilities, information, and infrastructure deployed or located within or outside the boundaries of a given operatiooal area (JP 3-0). Biometrics enables protection missions by providing U.S. forces with a screening tool for individuals with access to U.S. facilities. Biometric matches can be used to help in the vetting process. An effective vetting process can help determine an individual's potential threat level, which can then be used to help the commander decide an individual's access to U.S.

and multinational forces facilities.

                                                                                                                                                                                          (
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          .
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            .

## Targeting (U)

9-20. (U) *Targeting* is the process of selecting and prioritizing targets and matching the appropriate response to them. considering operational requirement() and capabilities (JP 3-0). Targeting helps the staff and targeting working group decide which targets must be acquired and engaged. The Army targeting methodology comprises the functions decide, detect, deliver, and assess (also called D3A). (See ATP 3-60.)
9-21. (U) Targeting is an outgrowth of the commander:s decisions and establishes the requirements for developing effective information collection and intelligence operations efforts. Intelligence operatioos support the targeting proce.~s by-

-
Locating targets.
-
Identifying, classifying, and tracking targets.
-
Observing actions on targets.
-
Determining whether to engage or continue collection on targets.
-
Assessing the effects of those actions.

## Bel Considerations For Specific Operations, Missions, And Environments (U) For

9-22. (U) Military intelligence collection assets collect information to aid in performing the following tasks: situation development, target acquisition, functional damage assessment, munitions effects assessment. and battle damage assessment. However, many collection assets cannot suppcrt all these tasks at tl1e same time. Therefore, priaitizing tl1e infonnatim collection tasks given to them is critical. (See FM 2-0
and ATP 2-01.)
9-23. (U) The find, fix, finish, exploit, analyze, and disseminate (F3EAD) methodology is the primary means for engaging high-value individuals. The targeting aspect of F3EAD is consistent with tl1e decide, detect, deliver, and assess methodology; moreover. F3EAIJ provides maneuver commanders an additional tool to address certain targeting challenges, particularly those found in a counterinsurgency environment.

(See f:igure 9-1 .) F3EAD is not a replacement for decide, detect, deliver, and assess; nor is it exclusive to targeting. It is a specific technique that works best at the tactical level for helping leaders understand tl1cir operational environment and visualize the effects they want to achieve.

9-24. (U) Thorough planning and disciplined execution helps commanders employ high-demand military intelligence collection assets more efficientl y. Biometric information enables targeting by helping to pusitivd y identify indiviuuals. Fur example, u biumetri<.: enrollment st:nt lU ABIS may help iuentify the individual who is on tl1e BEWL. An alert text can in form tl1e collector of such a march.

## For Official Use 0~ Theater Security Cooperation And Exercises (U)

9-25. {U) The U.S. military can further security cooperation through civic action programs in remote regions of partner nations in conjunction with pot1 visits and multinational military exercises. The following vignette describes one way biometric capabilities can contribute to the succe...;;s of these programs.

9-26. (U) War crime..c;; can be extremely difficult to prosecute, but biometric data can be an invaluable asset during preparation and execution of this task. Biometric information can enable identif)'ing deceased personnel, possibly establishing that war crimes were committed. Biometric information can also he used to identify war crimes suspects hiding among the populace.

## Appendix B Biometric Modalities (U)

(U) There are varying levels of reliability and accuracy of biometric modalities based on the technology of the systems used to collect and exploit them. This appendix describes factors to consider during biometric collection and factors that affect the reliability and accuracy of biometric samples.

## Con Sid Era Tions For Collecting Different Modalities (U)

B-1.

(U) Fingerprints, DNA, iris images, and facial images are the most widely used biometric modalities throughout DOD. Additionally, voice recognition is used. Although the mission and availability of collection systems dictate which modalities are collected, a basic understanding of the functionality and limitations of each modality is useful.

## Fingerprints (U)

B-2.

(U) For more than a century, fingerprints have been one of the most highly used methods for human recognition. Automated biometric systems have only become available in recent years. The determination and commitment of the fingerprint industry, government evaluations and needs. and organized standards bodies have led to the next generation of fingerprint recognition technology. This promises faster and higher quality acquisition devices to produce higher accuracy and more reliability. Fingerprints have a generally broad acceptance with the general public, law enforcement, and the forensic science community.

B-3.

(U) A friction ridge is a raised layer of skin found on a petson 's hands or feet. A fingerprint is a detail of the friction ridges of an individual's finger. Friction ridge impressions consist of ridge flow, ridge characteristics, and ridge structure of the raised portion of the epidermis, or skin. The data represented in friction ridge impressions allow a determination that corresponding areas of friction ridge impressions either originated from the same source or were not made by the same source. (See figure B-1 on page B-2
for an example of a collected fingerprint.)
B-4. (U) The following are required for proper collection of a fingerprint:

-
Ensure the su~ject's fingers and collection surface are clean prior to collecting fingerprints.
Excessive dirt, grease, and/or dryness of the print area will likely result in an unreadable
fingerprint capture.
-
Ensure the biometric collection system is clean before collecting fingerprints. For example,
make sure the fingerprint silicone membrane on the tactical handheld biometric collection device
is clean by applying a small piece of clear tape to the silicone membrane to lift residual
fingerprint images, dirt, oils, and other debris.
-
The collector should maintain control of suQject's finger, to include slight and consistent
pressure tor a slap or rolled fingerprint

## Unclassified Palm Pri~Its (U)

B-6. (U) A palm prinr uses the physical structure of an individual's hand for recognition. A palm print consists of a knife (writer) edge and fiont edge. The knite edge is fiom the wrist bone to the tip of the pinkie. TI1e front edge is from the wrist along the thumb line to the tip of the index finger.

B-7. (U) Palm prints are derived from the patterns presented in a friction ridge impression. This information combines ridge tlow, ridge charncteristics, mtd ridge structure of the raised portion of the epidermis. Palm prints can be collected as rolled ink-on-card. scanned live. collected from intentional palm prints (such as, inked prints in financial ledgers), or lifted from sw-face.\ touchctl by an individual (latent palm prints).

B-8.

(U) Palm print recognition implements many of the same matching characteristics that have allowed fingerprint recognition to be one of the most well-known and best publicized biometric techniques.

However, this technique is not as advanced as fingerprint recognition and has shortcomings associated with its newness. Specifically:

-
Palm recognition is slower than fingerprint recognition, due to
re~tra in ts in computing
capabilities and live-scan technologies.
-
Palm print applications are hampered by the lack of a current baseline. The collection and
storage of palm prints of sufficient quality will yield more palm print matches within automated
systems.
-
Error rates are decreased when comparing live-scan enrollment data with live-scan data.
Improvements in matches between live-scan and latt:nt prim data are still needed.

## Iris Images (U)

B-9.

(U) Having only become automated and available with in the past decade, the iris recognition concept and industry are still relatively new. The iris is the colored portion of the eye and is a muscle within the eye that regulates the size of the pupil, controlling the amount of light that enters the eye. The coloring is based on the amount of melatonin pigment within the muscle. Irises are unique and srruclllrally distinct, which allows them to be used for recognition purpose.-;.

13-10. (U) Iris recognition is the process of identifying an individual by analyzing the random patterns of the iris. The following are iris image collection tmd system considerations:

-
Iris identification systems use near infrared light to illuminate the iris.
-
Iris rewgnition is llllst usd'ul when verifying tht: identity ur a previously enrolled indi vidual.
Iris image verification is the most accurate means of biometrically contirming an individual's
identity at this time.
-
During iris image collection. the individual's head should is in a stabilized position to prevent
movemen t. All obstructions are removed from the individual's iris area, to include glasses,
contact lenses. eyelashes, and hair. The captwed image shows the iris and pupil to the maximum extent possible with no glare obscuring any pan of the iris. (See figure B-2 for proper iris image
alignment.)
-
iris images are collected from deceased individuals; however, collecting up w 30 minutes post
mortem is optimal. Environmental conditions can hinder this timeline and render the iri se.~
unreadable, so iris imnges should be collected as soon as practical.

## Facial. I Magi~S (U)

B-1 I. (U) Humans in stincti vel y use faces to recognize individuals. Automated facial recognition systems can be used for both verification and identification of an individual. Automated facial recognition is the process of submitting an image collected (through various means) into a repository of other facial images for an algorithm-based search and potential match. Early automated facial recognition algorithms used simple geometric models, but advancements in computing capabilities over the last decade now enable the database to produce more refined candidate.<; with greater computing speeds and accuracy. Major advancements and initiatives in the past 10 to 15 years have propelled facial recognition technology into the forefront; however, the technology does not render 100 percent automated matching.

B-12. (U) Unlike tingerprint and iris recognition, automated facial recognition is not standardized. There are a number of algorithms cwTently used by different agencies throughout the intelligence community.

B-13. (U) The success of aulomatecl facial recognition relies on the quality of the images submitted into the database for searching. Accuracy is affected by several factors: the quality of the image, pose, and <mgle of the individual in the image, obstructions (such as hats, sunglasses, or hair), illumination, shadowing and facirll hair.

B-14. (U) The follov .. ing are elements critical in the collection of facial images and for automated searching:

-
A straight forward, well-lit, neutral background free of distracting objects (such as personnel and
equipment).
-
The individual being photographed should remove glasses, sunglasses, or other items obscuring
the tacial area.
-
The facial image should include the top of the head to the bottom of the neck, including the ears.
-
The facial image should be expressionless.
-
The image environment should have sufficient lighting. lmproper lighting cremes shadows, and
direct light creates overexposure.
-
The capture device should be level and aligned with tl1e subject"s face to ensure a high-quality
photograph. Generally, the camera lens is level at subject's nose height to prevent distortion.
-
Profile pictures (left <md right facial capture) should be captured in the same manner as above.
(Sec figure 8-3 for proper facial image alignment.)

## Dna Profiles (U)

B-15. (U) DNA is inherited from both the mother and tl1e father. There are two types of DNA, nuclear and mitochondrial. Nuclear DNA is found in the nucleus of the cell and is the more accurate of the two types.

Mitochondrial DNA is inherited only from the mother, so it is not used as a means of identification in any DOD database. Nuclear DNA can be more easily acquired in blood, semen, saliva, and skin cells. Although
99.9 percent of human DNA sequences are the same in every person, enough of the DNA is different to distinguish one individual fiom another. The following items can be swabbed for nuclear DNA sampling:

-
Cigmette butts.
-
Shirt collars.
-
Hats.
-
Weapons.
-
Bottles.
-
En vel opes.
B-16. (U) DNA is very sensitive to contamination. Secure the collected DNA sample in a clean, sterile container immediately after collection. To ensure proper DNA collection, the following is required:

-
The collector should wear latex gloves to avoid direct or indirect contact with the sample. The
collector should not let samples come in contact with each other.
-
The collector uses a DNA swah to collect a sample from the suhject's inner cheek or other
source of bcxlily fluids (biO<XI). Use only one swab per person. If swabbing the cheek, the
collector ensures the swab is in contact with the smnple area for approximately 15 seconds.
-
The collector does not remove limbs or body pieces when collecting DNA from the deceased,
Instead, the collector collects a DNA sample fiom an uncontaminated area or source.
-
The collector puts the evidence into a clean paper bag or envelope. The collector avoids putting
the sample into a plastic bag to prevent degradation from moisture. l11e collector puts only one
sample per container to avoid cross-con lamination of samples.
-
The collector ensures samples are associated with a specific individual (name, global unique
identifier, electronic fingerprint transaction, or individual tracking number). (See figure B-4 for
DNA swab examples.)

## Voice (U)

B-1 H. (U) Voice recognition uses the physical structure of an indiviclu<lls vocal tract and the individual"s behavioral characteristics. The peculiarities of an individual's voice can be isolated and thereby differentiated from all other voice patlerns, modulations, pitch. and other measurable characteristics.

Analysis occurs on a model in which changes over time are monitored, which is similar to other behavioral biometric modalities, such as dynamic signature, gait, and keystroke recognition. This modality is best for one-to-one comparison versus one-to-many, and is still evolving.

## The Way Ahead (U)

B-19. (U) Army requiremenL~. commander evaluations, and other factors wilJ help determine what biometric and forensic capabilities are present during future operations. As analysts are able to more quickly and accurately analyze and transmit biometric data, the biometric processes wilJ need to be refined to beller suppcrt commanders at all levels and in all operational environments.

## Reliability And Accuracy (U)

13-20. (U) The reliability and accuracy of biometric modalities depend on various factors. The most significant factors are human error in the colJection and exploitation of biometric samples and the quality of the biometric samples collected.

B-2 1. (U) The accuracy of biometric systems depends on the threshold scores established within each system and is affected by several factors. 1l1ese factors include-

-
Sample quality.
-
Algorithms in use.
-
Acceptable fal se-alarm rate.
-
Repository size (number of samples to which the biometric sample is compared).
B-22. (U) Some common mistakes are-
-
Swapped or duplicate fingers between the left and right hand sections of the card.
-
Swapped hands when referencing the tlat four slaps versus the individual rolled tingas.
-
Flat finger captured without proper technique.
-
Flat four images captured with our all the fingers present.
-
Rolled fingers that are lifted prematurely.

## Appendix B For

-
Facial images marked as frontal pose that are not frontal pose.
-
Iris images captured with bad technique (that is, shadow or mirroccd eyes).
B-23. (U) Many of the current DOD systems are multimodal. This allows collection of multimodal biometrics, which increases the accuracy of a comparison. Although this method is mere time-consuming, multimodal biometrics achieves a highly reliable biometric authentication.

## Appendix C Biometrically Enabled Watch List Categories (Tiers) (U)

(U) Historically. watch lists have been name-based and the success or failure of the watch list rested on a human screener 's ability to determine the identity of the person encountered Enemies. adversaries. and even neutral personnel have a stake in hiding their identities by using disguises. aliases, and falsified documents. Using such means, they have been successful at fooling the human screeners. Improved biometric collection, matching capabilities, and better analysis at all levels of intelligence increases the effectiveness of watch lists by turning positive identification into an exercise of automated biometric recognition.

C-1. (U) Each BEWL tier comprises persons of interest-each identified by a reference nwnber-for whom a specific action is recommended. The composition of the tiers is determined by the level or nature of the threat the person of interest poses to U.S. and friendly forces. The tier or category criteria also stipulate the actions permissible by the unit's authorities, missions and existing rules of engagement, or the terms of the controlling security or status-of-forces agreement. BEWL tiers listed in figure C-1 on page C-2
are examples of those currently in use in counterinsurgency operations and may change as commanders deem necessary.

C-2. (U) When the DOD BEWL is developed for use in all combatant command areas of responsibility, it does not contain action recommendations due to the number and variety of rules of engagement and authority limitations. Instead, the DOD BEWL categorizes persons of interest according to biometricscommunity-accepted terminology. This terminology describes a person's past known behavior and other characteristics (tbr example, lED maker, resident of a particular city, member of a particular group, or leader of a specific unit). The action-based tier system continues at the combatant command level and below. Figure C-2 oo page C-3 shows examples of DOD-level common categories and subcategories.

C-3. (U) The current DOD-level categorical watch list consists of-

-
Forty-seven categories and 71 subcategories.
-
Specific alert categories that can be assigned based on known or assessed data unique to an
identity.
-
Greater specificity for the operata at the point of encounter.

Privacy Office

Mr. Steven Aftergood
1120 16th Street NW
Suite 400
Washington, DC 20036

Dear Mr. Aftergood:

This is in further response to your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request of November

10, 2015 requesting a copy of ATP 2-22.82 on Biometrics-Enabled Intelligence and
supplements our letter of November 20, 2019.

  Coordination has been completed with another element of our command and records were
returned to this office for our review and direct response to you.

 We completed a review of the documents. As a result of our review, information has been
sanitized pursuant to Title 5 U.S.Code 552  (b)(3) of the FOIA, which applies to information
that is exempt by statute. The statute invoked under (b)(3) is 50 U.S. Code 3024(i), which
allows for the protection of intelligence sources and methods.

  The withholding of the information described above is a partial denial of your request. This
denial is made on behalf of Major General Gary W. Johnston, Commanding, U.S. Army
Intelligence and Security Command, who is the Initial Denial Authority for Army intelligence
investigative and security records under the FOIA. You have the right to appeal this decision to
the Secretary of the Army. Your appeal must be postmarked no later than 90 calendar days
from the date of this letter. After the 90-day period, the case may be considered closed;
however, such closure does not preclude you from filing litigation in the courts. You should
state the basis of your disagreement with the response and provide justification for a
reconsideration of the denial. An appeal may not serve as a request for additional or new
information. An appeal may only address information denied in this response. Your appeal is to
be made to this office, for forwarding, as appropriate to the Secretary of the Army, Office of the
General Counsel.
