Ammo CoP Wins Army KM Award

Ammunition Community of Practice wins the Army Knowledge Management Award : The Ammunition Community of Practice (Ammo CoP) has been recognized by the Army Knowledge Management Awards (AKMA) Program. The AKMA provides Army-level recognition for initiatives in knowledge-based capabilities and solutions to those who have had tangible success related to Army KM goals and objectives. One winner is chosen in each of the three Army KM Dimensions: People/Culture, Process, and Technology. The Ammo CoP was submitted under the Process dimension. The Ammunition CoP resides on the Acquisition Community Connection (ACC) and its purpose is to share knowledge throughout the ammunition enterprise. DAU partnered with the Defense Ammunition Center (DAC), McAlester, Oklahoma to assist with building and hosting the Ammo CoP. The community was deployed in November of 2008 and now has more than 1,200 members. The Army Knowledge Management award was presented by LTG Sorenson to DAC at the LandWarNet luncheon on August 20 in Ft. Lauderdale. DAU extends its congratulations to the Defense Ammunitions Center.
