     Subcutaneous chips, implanted in the soldier's chest or arm.  These

would replace dogtags, having all of the relevant information, as well 
as serving an IFF function.  As for recognizing your own, the chip would

coded for say, signal "A".  Anything that does NOT have that signal is a

foe (or a missile) and triggers the APFC belt.	I can see the exact 
frequency of this signal being something that you do NOT want the enemy 
to have, and I can see it being changed on a weekly (or whatever) basis.
 
And yes, I can see some poor bastard getting shredded because he didn't 
get his code updated.
