- Automated Biometric Identification System - Department of
Defense (DOD) system implemented to improve the U.S. government's ability to
track and identify national security threats. The initial focus was on
fingerprints gathered by coalition forces from “red force” personnel like detainees,
internees, enemy prisoners of war and foreign persons of interest viewed as
national security threats. They can be compared with data maintained by the
FBI’s integrated automated fingerprint identification system (IAFIS), an
electronic, searchable database with the fingerprints of approximately 48
million people who have been arrested in the U.S. Databases of U.S. government
agencies will also eventually be linked so that red force biometric data is
searched against multiple databases for any possible matches.
