Fashioning Knowledge into a Potent Weapon

Abstract

KM in brigade and below units is relatively uncharted area, due to the lack of an authorized KM Section. As with any new capability, putting it in the right place at the right time in their Army Force Generation cycle fully enables a KMI s impact. KM needs to be incorporated into a unit just as all weapons systems are integrated, with training, familiarization, and tactics, techniques, and procedures. The preferred practice is to integrate KM prior to deployment for the unit to fully exploit the potential of KM integration into the unit s processes and support to the commander. Finally, KM works closely with IT, IMO and the staff to incorporate standardized processes, with the end state being better, more informed decisionmaking by the command.
