Identity Operations: Definition The process that support the identification of individuals based on the fusion of measurable identity, forensics and DOMEX with HUMINT, SIGINT, and other Intelligence disciplines. Identity Operations DOMEX Forensics Measures identity All Source Note: DOMEX management may misperceive see this to mean that are being identified separate from HUMINT. Law Enforcement Intelligence

The overall classification of this briefing is UNCLASSIFIED With an old science Drawings & Verbal Descriptions Photographs Internet Fingerprint Identification 21st Century 20th Century 17th Century Technology Advancement for Counter Piracy Identity Operations is no exception. Wanted posters from the 17th century were used to identify individuals the best way they could. This meant a drawing of the persons identity and written descriptions of characteristics. (scars, limps, stutters, wandering eye). In early history, site exploitation involved the exploitation of documents, people, and information left behind such as footprints, or residue of materials used to make explosives. Today, the documents are often on media or cell phones. Science has given us technology to identify more forensic information, more accurately, and more quickly than we had in the 17th century. The identification of people was made more accurate by the invention of the camera, but there were major concerns about human rights because the camera was thought to steal a persons soul. Although pictures of people made identification more accurate it was still not perfect. Numerous people have been wrongfully identified in pictures, and guards who look at hundreds or thousands of photographs can only make a best guess about the accuracy of photograph. Eventually, people became comfortable with having their picture taken and today we still use the accuracy of fingerprints but technology allows us to use them more broadly for the same mission set . Collectively, Identity Operations has experienced many developments and will continue to be developed because it is critical to our safety – on an individual level, community level, and national security level.

Identity Operations Around the World United Nations (UN) and European Commission’s Humanitarian Office (ECHO) 4 Million Dollars to create a Biometric data base for refugees. Purpose is to help define registration status, rights, gain humanitarian aid and gain employment. International Security Assistance Force (ISAF): Nations within ISAF are currently conducted ID Ops to identify nefarious actors, vetting locally employed persons, force protection, and humanitarian assistance Interpol, Europol, and Local Law Enforcement: Long history of leveraging Identity Operations to identify suspects, witnesses, and victims. Private Industry : access control, theme parks, airports, computer security, banking India: Government intends to biometrically enroll everyone, and use it for government services, banking, and welfare benefits. ECHO/UN reference: http://www.eurostep.org/wcm/archive-eurostep-weekly/883-eu-humanitarian-aid-funds-used-for-biometric-database.html India: http://homelandsecuritynewswire.net/india-embarks-ambitious-biometric-project-12-billion-ids “India officially launched the world's most ambitious biometrics project: assigning a unique 12-digit number to each of the country's 1.2 billion people; the project, which seeks to collect fingerprint and iris scans from all residents and store them in a massive central database of unique IDs, is considered by many specialists the most technologically and logistically complex national identification effort ever attempted; the government says unique ID numbers will help ensure that government welfare spending reaches the right people, and will allow hundreds of millions of poor Indians to access services like banking for the first time”

EUCOM Transmit / Share Challenges From Remote Sites Wireless communication Hand carry to a hardwire connect Image data, hand carry, & transmit (Example: Fingerprint cards) Methods for moving data can be done according to unit SOP and physical capability. The most common options are through wireless reachback, handcarry to the mothership, or hand carry to mothership for further processing of material and then transfer data – such as a fingerprint card that needs to be scanned at certain Operations before being transmitted.
Intelligence Feedback C3PO Portal Concept: Provides critical pre-planning information Tracks previous encounters Provides previous encounter information Supports interdiction while on the suspect vessel The data moves from the site or mother ship to databases. The databases that are searched are based on host nation policy and agreements. Realtime feedback constraints are driven by policy, agreements, physical capability to move data, ability to analyze information and move back to the team within short time frames. The creation of portals will help with this during NATO operations. ISIS & C3PO are two developing portals which will allow for NATO MIO teams to move data and distribute it for searching and actionable feedback while preparing for a mission or while actually on the vessel.
