Homeland Personnel Security Directive (HSPD-12) Initiative

Abstract

The Department of Defense Human Resources Activity (DHRA) is a DoD-wide Field Activity chartered to support the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness (USD (P&R)). This PE includes application of R&D to expedite prototype development and mission support efforts for DoD implementation of Homeland Security Presidential Directive – 12 (HSPD-12). HSPD-12 is a Presidential mandate that directs common, interoperable, secure identity credentials across the Federal Government, with the same card appearance and proofing and vetting processes. HSPD-12 directs that all access, both physical and logical, be rapidly electronically authenticated. This requires that a chain-of-trust be established for clear, documented, and auditable standards and rules dealing with identity proofing, vetting, authentication, authorization, privacy protection, timely revocation, and use of biometrics, to confirm identity credentials, both for our employees, military members, and industry partners. Integration of these disparate components has not been accomplished and requires the development of new technology and database access at a level not heretofore fielded within the Department or across the Federal Enterprise. At successful completion, this will improve security, improve business processes, and promote sustainable interoperability among Department of Defense and Federal agencies. Inter-governmental and inter-jurisdictional coordination is essential to ensure effective prevention of, protection from, response to, and recovery from natural and manmade disasters, including acts of terrorism, whether within the US, or across our bases and stations world-wide. Credentialing of NCR-based Federal executive branch emergency response personnel in accordance with the requirements of Homeland Security Presidential Directive – 12 requires the Department to work with Regional Partners (other Federal, State, local, and tribal), to develop a process by which State and local incident commanders can identify emergency response personnel, authenticate credentials and permissions, and manage human capital. RDT&E to be applied for seamless integration of DoD specific functions into Regional response efforts.
