Mr. Michael Wynne, Acting Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition, Technology and Logistics), published the final policy on July 30, 2004 for the use of radio frequency identification within the Department of Defense. Radio frequency identification - also known as RFID - will enable hands-off processing of materiel transactions, allowing the DoD to re-apportion critical manpower resources to warfighting functions and to streamline business process.

Note: Attachment 2 has been changed slightly based on recent information provided by EPCglobal that allows use of Class 0 96-bit read only tags
