Technology plays a huge role in the Army of today. We have a number of information technology systems in place at any given time. Those systems and their characteristics change as the mission of the Army changes. These changes take place regularly and rapidly in order to provide the most effective technological information possible.

I will also discuss the Army Knowledge Management strategy and what changes in the system I think could make it run more effectively.
