The American military introduced service numbers on February 28, 1918, and discontinued their use in 1974, replacing them with the social security numbers of the serviceman/servicewoman. However in order to prevent identity theft and possible security breaches, in June 2011, the Pentagon stopped using social security numbers on military and dependent ID cards and reintroduced the service number. All members are expected to have their new service number by June 2015.
