Military Personnel Identification Project seeks to convene armed forces from across the globe to
work towards the creation of International Standard Guidelines for Military Personnel Identification, to ensure that during, and in the aftermath of armed conflict, deceased members of the armed forces are timorously searched for, recovered, identified, and their families informed of their fate. This is accomplished by ensuring that proper physical identification is issued to members of the armed forces, biometric information and samples are collected prior to their deployment into operational environments, and military mortuary affairs programs are robust and put the dignity of members of the armed forces and their families at the center of fatality management. These measures all contribute to preventing members of the armed forces from becoming unaccounted for in case of death during combat.
