Behind every mission is a story, and forensic photographers are the ones capturing it frame by frame. Military #forensic photographers play a critical role in documenting crime scenes, capturing evidence, and supporting #biometric identification to protect Soldiers and enhance military investigations. Their work ensures accurate records for intelligence and legal cases, contributing to mission success. Forensic photography is also used in recovery operations including munitions, personal effects, and aids in identifying human remains. #forensicphotography #MissionReady #ForensicFriday #BeAllYouCanBe

What Is Microbial Forensics and Why Is It Important? Microbial #forensics is a cutting-edge field focused on analyzing evidence from biological threats, crimes, or accidental releases of microorganisms and toxins. By identifying the source of these threats—whether a nation, group, or individual—microbial forensics aids in legal prosecution and #military response. Beyond its role in justice, it’s crucial for deterring biological warfare and terrorism. In the fight against #bioterrorism, microbial forensics is crucial to unveiling anonymity and safeguarding global security. #forensicfriday #Readiness #BioCrime #BeAllYouCanBe
