What is the brief history behind BTF’s transition to BIMA?
Since Congress first designated SecArmy as the Executive Agent (EA) for biometrics information assurance programs within the Department of Defense (DoD) in July 2000, the Army had not formally established an enduring biometrics organization to fully execute the SecArmy’s EA responsibilities. The Army initially established a Biometrics Management Office with Chief Information Officer (CIO)/G-6 oversight. SecArmy later shifted oversight from CIO/G-6 to the Deputy Chief of Staff (DCS), G-3/5/7 in June 2006. Upon this transition, DCS, G-3/5/7 established the BTF as a subordinate element within the U.S. Army Operations and Plans Support Group. To establish a formal organization type and reporting process for the BTF, the organization began laying a foundation for the BIMA transition as early as 2007. In October 2009, the Vice Chief Staff of the Army (VCSA) approved a decision paper recommending redesignation of the BTF as BIMA, and establishment of BIMA as a Field Operating Agency (FOA) wit
