Engineer: The Professional Bulletin of Army Engineers
Abstract
Capturing observations has always been part of our military history. Today s engineers are learning historic lessons as our military conducts domestic and overseas contingency operations, and it is imperative that we, as a professional community, capture these lessons for future use. However, the valuable lessons from operational deployments or training exercises often are not captured. Most United States Army engineers appreciate reading a quality after-action report (AAR) before a project or mission. Our Army knows this and has made significant progress in knowledge management. Indeed, it has been more than 22 years since the establishment of the Center for Army Lessons Learned (CALL), an organization that has amassed an unequaled body of knowledge for the military. Other Services and most Army branches have followed suit. The 249th Engineer Battalion (Prime Power) hosts a collection of electrical lessons learned under Lion Lessons, an online body of knowledge named in honor of the battalion s nickname, the Black Lions. With nearly 300 members, Lion Lessons is part of the Power and Utilities Operations Professional Forum in the Army s Battle Command Knowledge System.
