U.S. Army dog tags will no longer include soldiers' Social Security numbers, the Army announced on Tuesday, ending a more than 40-year identification system. The tags will instead display the 10-digit Defense Department identification number currently included on Pentagon ID cards, and will be issued to solders on an as-needed basis, with those deploying getting priority, service officials said in a press release.
