Personnel Identity Management and the Expeditionary Strike Group
Abstract
Identity management (IM) plays a critical role in virtually every process involving personnel. "Identity management" means the ability to uniquely and unambiguously identity people and entities and their interactions and interrelationship, and also the ability to track their mobility in a timely fashion. Currently, Expeditionary Strike Group (ESG) personnel IM suffers from a lack of: technology, systems integration, and training. The purpose of this thesis is to identify best practices and technologies to help resolve ESG personnel IM problems. Chapter I defines IM and explains why IM is important for the Department of Defense (DoD). Chapter II provides an overview of DoD human resource management and Defense Manpower Data Center information systems. Chapter III provides an introduction to the challenges associated with the ESG, personnel IM and information technology (IT). Chapter IV provides an introduction to metrics, Business Process Redesign and Knowledge Value Added. Those concepts are used to derive an answer to the question, "What does the Non Combatant Evacuation Operation Tracking System do for ESG commanders?" Chapter V summarizes the challenges associated with ESG personnel IM and IT, recommends changes and summarizes the main points of the thesis.
