Experience

2020 – Present: Knowledge Manager, GS-12 – US Army at Ft. Leavenworth

Accomplishments and significant activities during this time:

In this GS12 KM position, I am responsible for:

• Assisting in applying KM principles and best practices for the Mission Command Capability Development Integration Directorate (MC CDID); for example, I am instituting a universal naming convention in our SharePoint system, so that documents can more easily be retrieved.
• Implementing organizational information management processes as well as strategies to enhance explicit and implicit knowledge production; for example, I have developed and implemented knowledge policy and program guidance.
• Enacting strategies to enhance explicit and implicit knowledge production within the context of organizational information management processes; for example, I have developed and implemented knowledge policy and program guidance in the forms of SOPs and TTPs.
• Possessing a clear understanding of the processes, systems, and people within MC CDID, and developing and coordinating these components to achieve maximum and effective output.
• Attending KM working groups to establish reports and analyze metrics; for example, I am an active participant in the Army Futures Command Futures and Concepts Center’s Knowledge Management Working Group
• Conducting knowledge assessments to discover any gaps, inconsistencies, and/or operational roadblocks in MC CDID’s KM processes; for example, I perform knowledge management audits of MC CDID’s SharePoint system on a regular basis.
• Using sound analysis and decision-making with respect to KM in MC CDID and assisting in the planning, organizing, staffing, directing, and measuring of organizational performance.
• Preparing and presenting information briefings, as well as designing templates/formats for computerized knowledge products; for example, I have developed a spreadsheet in Microsoft Teams that enables several people to work simultaneously on a daily personnel status report.
• Training users on KM systems; for example, I have been promoting SharePoint site usage as well as educating members of MC CDID as to how to manage governance and permission levels.
• Continuing to work with the CPCE Branch of Army Capabilities Manager – Mission Command / Command Posts (ACM-MC/CP) to integrate operational requirements and architecture across all stakeholders, within the framework of the Common Operating Environment (COE); I performed this work for some four years (2016-2020), and it has included:

• • Producing training materials – SOPs and coursework through DAU – so as to teach capability developers how to analyze, write about, and model, the Army Mission Command Strategy (1. All Army leaders understand and practice the MC philosophy, 2. Commanders and staffs effectively execute MC WfF tasks, 3. The MC system enables commanders, staffs, and units to effectively execute the MC WfF.), and how it meshes with the National Defense Strategy (1. Build a More Lethal Force, 2. Strengthen Alliances and Attract New Partners, 3. Reform the DoD for Greater Performance and Affordability), the National Security Strategy (1. Protect the American people, the homeland, and the American way of life, 2. Promote American prosperity, 3. Preserve peace through strength, 4. Advance American influence), the National Military Strategy (A Joint Force capable of defending the homeland and projecting power globally – achieving military advantage over competitors and adversaries – now and into the future, through Force Employment, Force Development, and Force Design), and the National Homeland Defense Strategy (GOAL 1: COUNTER TERRORISM AND HOMELAND SECURITY THREATS, GOAL 2: SECURE U.S. BORDERS AND APPROACHES, GOAL 3: SECURE CYBERSPACE AND CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE, GOAL 4: PRESERVE AND UPHOLD THE NATION’S PROSPERITY AND ECONOMIC SECURITY, GOAL 5: STRENGTHEN PREPAREDNESS AND RESILIENCE, GOAL 6: CHAMPION THE DHS WORKFORCE AND STRENGTHEN THE DEPARTMENT)

• Assisting in the efforts to find ways to manage knowledge more efficiently with respect to commanders and staffs in the operations process. Why? Because commanders and staffs actively build and maintain shared understanding within the force and with UAPs by continual collaboration throughout the operations process (planning, preparation, execution, and assessment). They collaboratively frame the operational environment, frame problems, and visualize approaches to solving them. Staffs facilitate situational understanding through knowledge management. Units conduct knowledge management to enhance shared understanding through the alignment of people, processes, and tools within the organizational structure and culture to increase collaboration and interaction between leaders and subordinates.

My role at MC CDID includes being the Security Manager, where I am responsible for:

• Daily security checks of the classified room and locks in our facility.
• Maintaining security-related doctrine and personnel paperwork.
• Updating and maintaining MC CDID’s key inventory.
• Daily security checks of the doors in our facility.
• Implementing directives related to COVID-19 and personnel safety.
• Acting as a representative of the Civilian Misconduct Action Authority (CMAA), documenting and reporting any instances of misconduct.
• Modeling and influencing the Army Professional Ethos, primarily by being a good steward of the profession.
• Holding myself and others accountable for making prudent decisions regarding resources and expertise.
• Demonstrating critical and creative thinking skills through effective problem solving and sound decision-making.
• Communicating complex ideas and achieving shared understanding.
• Developing mutually supportive relationships across the Army Enterprise.
• Facilitating the move from information classified as For Official Use Only (FOUO) to that of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), which, according to Section 2002.4 of Title 32, Code of Federal Regulations, is defined as “information the Government creates or possesses, or that an entity creates or possesses for or on behalf of the Government, that a law, regulation, or Government-wide policy requires or permits an agency to handle using safeguarding or dissemination controls.” The list of CUI categories, complete with examples, may be found here.

• Provided real-time intelligence reach back support for Athena analysts on TDY imbedded in command posts with CENTCOM, AFRICOM, STRATCOM, USSOCOM, and USASOC.

  • Athena is a scalable, single user, laptop-based, course-of-action simulation (ideally, no more than three years) and analysis tool used to anticipate consequences from actions of operational forces. It enables analysts and commanders to simulate the second and third order Diplomatic, Information, Military, & Economic (DIME)/Political, Military, Economic, Social, Infrastructure, and Information (PMESII) effects within the context of a battlefield environment, a wide area security operation, or in support of a country study to evaluate social evolution dynamics.

• Performed data-mining and text-mining tests with Smartlogic’s Semaphore utilizing the Athena Ontology with the purpose of finding a tool that can help the intelligence analyst in information collection.

  • The Athena Ontology is an ontology that represents the PMESII-related entities and relationships being modeled and analyzed by the Athena simulation; an ontology is a graph-theoretic, taxonomic model of entities and relationships – including types and instances – in some domain

• Wanted to see if Semaphore’s suite of tools could perform:
  • NLP (natural-language processing), a field of computer science, artificial intelligence, and computational linguistics concerned with the interactions between computers and human (natural) languages. One important goal of NLP is trying to get computational systems to “understand” the meaning (semantics) and context of words, sentences, and other linguistic devices in much the same way that a human mind is able to do so.
  • NER (named entity recognition), the goal of which is to locate and classify elements in text into pre-defined categories such as the names of persons, organizations, locations, and others. Humans seem to be preconditioned for this; of course, they need training to do so, which normally occurs throughout the first 20 years (or so) of their lives while in school during grammar, composition, writing, literature review, speech, and communication classes. In these classes, people learn to make explicit what is taking place mentally when they locate parts of speech, parse a sentence, grasp the meaning of terms utilized, and/or understand the intention of the writer/speaker.
• Produced PMESII documents utilizing OSINT for Athena Studies associated with:
  • ISIS.
  • Syria.
  • India.
  • Pakistan.
  • South Sudan.
  • Russia.

• Assisted in developing the platform that the Army University utilizes for online education (I have been teaching online courses with Blackboard, Moodle, D2L, and Canvas since the dinosaur days of Blackboard, v1 in 1999).

• Presented research on competency-based education (CBE), which works well for military personnel, and where:

  • Student competency determines success.
  • Competencies translates into objectives/topics usually delivered in a course as modules.
  • Students demonstrate/show competency in (mastery of) topics in modules via tests, papers, presentations, etc.
  • Modules are hierarchically ordered or “logically” laid out from simple to complex.
  • Students can progress at their own pace.
  • Students can access and re-access information and resources at any time.
  • The education is designed to be highly pragmatic.
  • Assisted in developing online platforms related to leadership programs and curriculum for the Army University; usage of Composica and iSpring Authoring Tools.

• Designed, developed, conducted, and evaluated subject matter lessons and products in support of the Army University’s online CBE program.

• Delivered lectures related to teaching lesson(s), courses, and electives.

• Delivered lectures related to the above E-COP, Collaborative Application, and CBE.

• Assisted in developing a concept for an Army Digital Humanities Initiative (digital humanities refers to research, inquiry, study, and teaching having to do with the effective usage of computational tools and the disciplines that comprise the Humanities).

Additionally:
