Duong's most recent innovation, the Joint Expeditionary Forensics
Facilities (JEFF) project or "lab in a box," analyzes biometrics. It
will be delivered to Iraq at the beginning of 2008, the Navy said, to
help distinguish insurgents from civilians.

"The best missile is worthless if you don't know who to shoot," Duong
said.

Betro said the military has been scanning the irises and taking the
fingerprints of Iraqis, feeding a biometrics data base in West
Virginia
<http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/related/topic/West+Virginia?tid=informline>.
To date, a few ad hoc labs have processed about 85,000 pieces of
evidence taken from weapons caches or roadside devices. Duong's mobile
forensic labs, with an initial budget of $34 million, will be deployed
all over Iraq.
