Mission

Effective management of TRADOC’s corporate knowledge is vital to the successful future of TRADOC. TRADOC was created in 1973 as a learning organization and our mission has always been to identify, capture, codify, organize, and share knowledge to change the Army’s DOTMLPF-P. With our move to A365, we are achieving an enterprise TRADOC knowledge environment of tightly linked information, resources, and experts that are more easily identifiable and accessible across the enterprise. We are making great strides in our ability to harvest data needed for critical decisions and make it visible to our leaders. And we are building tools and refining business processes to help TRADOC see itself and improve situational understanding. As we hear so often from senior leaders, we must think of data and information as a weapon system and as part of our operational environment. Knowledge Management is our means of managing that environment.
