On all military dog tags:
Name
Serial # or Social Security #
Blood type
Religion
Like dental records, and finger prints another way to ID you. If wounded, and medevac'd blood type helps Dr.'s with right blood type. Religion helps with last rite's, and proper handling of the body as to not offend.

Name, number, blood type and religion. If you are captured only yyour name andserial number are known to the enemy. If you are wounded your blood type. And religion so they know which Chaplain to call.

name, blood type, service number, b-day, and religion.
They are made to identify the body. They don't carry wallets, This tag has their blood type incase of an emergency ect.
