According to this article in ComputerWorld, the US Department of Defense has decided to go with the ISO RFID standard, and not the standard being put forth by EPC Global.
According to the article, "The military would like to support the EPC standard, said Maurice Stewart, deputy chief of the DOD's Automatic Identification Technology office. But the Pentagon has "embraced ISO standards, because that is the way we do business," Stewart said. He added that many of the DOD's suppliers have already adopted draft versions of the ISO 18000 RFID standards and that those specifications should provide trading partners with plug-and-play capabilities."
