Operational Knowledge Management: Signaleers Share Front Line Experiences
Abstract
You've successfully finished Signal Company Command, BCT S6, or maybe even corps or division What the commander needs to know now staff duty, but you have another year before your PCS, and the XO says, you ve done such a great job for us, the commander recommended for you to be the division KMO. You've heard knowledge management thrown around at NTC or JRTC, and usually from your previous perspective it involved sharing files, or maybe The Portal and technology. It s no big deal, right? Servers, routers, ABCS, laptops--you ve been dealing with it all of your Signal career--and then your first task is to review the battle rhythm--what does that have to do with technology? You check the division s MTOE and find out the authorizations are for an 02A, Branch Immaterial O-5/ LTC as the KMO and a FA 57A Battle Command Systems Operator O-4/ MAJ as the deputy KMO. Then you start to research the field of KM and find FM 6-01.1 Knowledge Wading through mounds of data to extract useful, timely knowledge is a continuous process for operational units. LTC Roberta Samuels, knowledge management officer for Regional Command (East)/Combined Joint Task Force 101 in Bagram, Afghanistan, shares information with a staff member.
