What does a black dog tag mean?
The black dog tag was first used by the military personnel. It was used as
identification for the military personnel
. It is similar to dog tags which are placed on dogs to be able to identify them, if they get lost or killed.
This order stated: Hereafter
identification tags will be issued to all officers and enlisted men of the Marine Corps
. They will always be worn when engaged in field service, and at all other times they will either be worn, or kept in the possession of the owner.
The tags were worn under the field uniform. According to the Defense Department, in July 1916, the U.S. Army amended its initial order and required a second disc. Why two dog tags?
The first tag was to remain with the body, while the second was for burial service record keeping
.
Today’s identification tags identify vital information about the wearer:
name, Social Security number, blood type and religious preference
. During World War II there were only three religious categories that could be put on dog tags: P for Protestant, C for Catholic and H for Hebrew (Jewish).
The U.S. Army changed regulations on July 6, 1916, so that all soldiers were issued two tags:
one to stay with the body and the other to go to the person in charge of the burial for record-keeping purposes
.
Targeting civilians, torturing prisoners of war and stealing dog tags are all
illegal actions that have been used in games without penalty
