The US Department of Defense has over the last few years switched to a universal identification card, The Common Access Card (CAC) Card (sic). As its name implies it is common across DoD being used by the Services, for civilians and contractors. Most military bases require a CAC Card for access. MarketWatch.com reports that Telos Corporation has been awarded a $160 M contract to provide the consumables used to make the cards and track the government inventory of them.
Obviously each card is made for a unique individual and the assigning of the card must be tracked. Any loss of the blanks and the systems used to make them would compromise the physical security of a facility. The cards are expensive as they contain a chip that can allow users to log into computers and also contain further identification data. Just another example of what kind of money the US Defense industry generates.
