Pentagon Implements RFID Tags on Drugs
The U.S. Department of Defense has announced an initiative to tag all medical supplies and drugs in the supply chain with RFID tags. IBM will carry out the project.
According to BJHC:
The RFID (radio-frequency identification) tags will provide the US military with ‘global transit visibility’. Given a more active international role by the US military, RFID should simplify moving, storing and distributing essential supplies such as drugs and medical consumables from bases in the United States to wherever US forces are in action around the world.
