  IDENTIFICATION CARDS AND TAGS
  4-36. An ID card provides a means to identify personnel entitled to specific DOD benefits and to identify
  personnel who require an ID card as outlined in DODI 1000.01, Identification (ID) Cards Required by the
  Geneva Conventions. Policy, procedures, and the type of card to be issued is determined by DODM 1000.13,
  Volume 1, DoD Identification (ID) Cards: ID Card Life-Cycle, AR 600-8-14, Identification Cards for
  Members of the Uniformed Services, Their Family Members, and Other Eligible Personnel {AFI 36-3026_
  IPV1/AR 600-8-14/BUPERS INST 1750.10D/MCO 5512.11E/COMDTINST M5512.1B/NOAA Corps
  Directives, Chapter 1, Part 5/Commissioned Corps Manual 29.2/Instructions 1 and 2}, and AR 690-11,
  Department of the Army Expeditionary Civilian Workforce and Civilian Deployments, In Support of Military
  Contingency and Emergency Operations. Common access cards are the standard for Service member ID
  cards. The brigade or STB S-1 (General Officer-level) issues CACs for assigned or attached personnel; the
  TG PAT may provide CAC services, if required, to personnel transiting through the theater gateway.
  Common access cards and ID cards are used to––
  * Identify Soldiers (Active and retired), members of other Services, and their family members.
  * Identify DOD and DA Civilians, CAAF, and prisoners of war.
  * Provide a means to identify, control access, and track civilians (physical security).
  * Expedite access to stored, sharable personnel data.
  4-37. Identification tags are required to be worn while deployed overseas, in a field environment, and while
  traveling in an aircraft. Brigade or STB S-1s issue ID tags for assigned or attached personnel and by the TG
  PAT for transiting personnel.
  4-38. In preparing for deployments, brigade S-1s must ensure the early entry element of the S-1 has the
  capability to provide CACs. As such, brigade S-1s must ensure the deployable Real-Time Automated
  Personnel Identification System (RAPIDS) workstation and supporting communications equipment ships
  early in the deployment process. Deployed S-1s must coordinate with the rear detachment S-1 and battalion
  or brigade signal staff officer (S-6) a minimum of 90 days before deployment to process the RAPIDS
  accreditation packet through the servicing network enterprise center.
  4-39. Civilians (DOD and DA Civilians and CAAF) are required to obtain a CAC before deploying to a
  theater of operations. In cases of lost or destroyed CACs, civilians can obtain a CAC from the AFSB S-1, the
  TG PAT, or from a near-by brigade S-1. Brigade S-1s supporting a large population of CAAF (including
  other designated contractor personnel) need to ensure sufficient number of replacement cards are on-hand.
  Guidelines for issuing and verifying eligibility for CACs for civilians remain the same as outlined in
  AR 600-8-14. Additionally, CAAF (including other designated contractor personnel) must be entered in the
  Trusted Associate Sponsorship System.
  TALENT MANAGEMENT
  4-40. Talent management is transformational, increasing organizational agility, focusing on productivity,
  and manifests as readiness and lethality. It also integrates al people practices, generating a positive effect on
  organizational outcomes and leveraging each individual’s knowledge, skills, behaviors, and preferences
  (KSB-P) for the mutual benefit of the Army and the individual (based on The Army People Strategy
  reference). Talent management extracts the most productivity and value from an organization’s greatest
  asset–its people. Army talent management integrates people acquisition, development, employment, and
  retention strategies. It begins with entry-level personnel and aligns their talents against the demand for them
  during their entire careers, to include positions at the very top of the Army. Talent management provides an
  opportunity for the HR community to dominate the human capital arena if properly executed. Human
  resources professionals should be experts in talent management initiatives and processes.
  4-41. Talent is defined as the unique intersection of the KSB-P inherent in Army professionals:
  * Knowledge – Facts, information, and skills acquired by a personal experience, education, or
  training.
  * Skills – The ability to apply knowledge to a task.
  * Behaviors – The way one acts or conducts oneself, especially toward others.
  * Preferences – Interests, career ambitions, and personal life goals.
