How is BIMA different from BTF?
BIMA is a permanent organization, rather than a temporary task force. This permanent status ensures that biometrics endures as an enabling capability for DoD. In addition, redesignation as BIMA is a critical milestone in the organization’s history because it enables funding and manning authority. As BIMA, we now have fund certification authority, along with manpower management authority to establish and secure the resources needed to fulfill Executive Manager responsibilities.
