Abstract

The purpose of this research is to investigate the implementation of the Department of Defense's (DoD) Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) mandate. The authors interviewed key subject-matter experts from the Office of the Assistant Under Secretary of Defense Supply Chain Integration, Army, Navy, Air Force, Defense Logistics Agency, the DoD's Office of Logistics Automation Information Technology, the Product Manager Joint-automated Information Technology Office, and members of the Joint Staff Logistics Directorate about the implementation progress of passive RFID within DoD. Based on the findings from these interviews, the authors assess the implementation strategy for passive RFID and make recommendations as to the most appropriate strategy for managing passive RFID implementation.
