Many of you in the military and law enforcement communities will come in contact with biometric technologies, even as sequester takes a bite out of agency and branch budget dollars. The business case and operational case exists for expanding the use of biometrics both in theater and Main Street USA. So, it’s important that you  have the big picture. You’re not just enrolling a suspected insurgent or felon, you are part of a larger and expanding system designed to deal with groups and individuals not nation states. Members of the military especially SOF will increasingly be called upon to train and team with international partners to battle radical insurgencies across the world. Look no further than Nairobi, Kenya, for a snap shot of things to come and for a very strong case for biometric enrollments and authentication.
