Company Command keeps up with military challenges

Listen in RealAudio


What started as informal conversations over lunch has turned into the go-to Website for army commanders. Company Command and companion website Platoon Leader have more than 15,000 registered users--all of them enlisted military officers. Their collective expertise cuts through the military's legendary bureaucracy to speed up the pace of solutions for military problems. During wartime those solutions can mean the difference between life and death. Company Command started as a personal, all-volunteer site before the war in Iraq. As its influence grew, the army backed the project and made space for it in the formal training pipeline. Co-founder Major Pete Kilner says it's a sophisticated extension of discussions several commanders were already having with each other in an effort to learn and improve.
