This publication, ATP 2-22.85 MCRP 3-33.1J NTTP 3-07.16 AFTTP 3-2.85 CGTTP 3-93.6 Multi-Service Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures for Tactical Employment of Biometrics in Support of Operations April 2014, establishes TTP for the proper collection of biometrics in a tactical environment and addresses the importance of quality biometrics enrollments and their applicability to the range of military operations. Chapter I, Overview of Biometrics, provides an overview of the primary biometrics modalities collected by Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security personnel; basic explanation of the biometrics process; and familiarization with the biometrically enabled watchlist (BEWL). Chapter II, Tactical Roles and Responsibilities, highlights key roles, responsibilities and planning considerations for leadership and operators to effectively integrate biometrics collection into operations. Chapter III, Biometrics Employment, discusses integrating biometrics across the range of military operations. Chapter IV, Biometrics Collection, provides specific TTP for properly collecting quality biometrics data. Appendix A, Negative Data Quality Trends, provides examples of improperly collected biometrics. Appendix B, Overview of Current Collection Devices, provides an overview of the capabilities of the most common biometrics collection devices currently fielded. Appendix C, Alternate Biometrics Collection Methods, provides examples of alternate methods of collecting biometrics data in the event of primary collection device failure or lack of availability. Appendix D, Lessons Learned, discusses various techniques used to effectively overcome the challenges of biometrics collection in austere environments.
