Biometrics in US Army Accessions Command

Abstract

Army Accessions Command (AAC) recruits the Active and Reserve enlisted force and recruits and trains officers for the Active component, Reserve, and National Guard. Approximately 10% of the 17-24 Youth Market is not qualified to serve in the military due to criminal history. Currently we don t get comprehensive resolution on an applicant s criminal background until after he or she goes to the Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS) to enlist and gets fingerprinted. There are substantial resources wasted in terms of recruiter time, MEPS processing workload, and logistical costs when an applicant is found unfit to serve at the point of enlistment. Biometrics provide solutions such as capturing fingerprints electronic, allowing faster processing.
