The U.S. Army Logistics Network (LOGNet)
The U.S. Army Logistics Network (LOGNet) directs the development and use of a knowledge management process to promote the sharing of logistical capabilities, vulnerabilities, and lessons learned throughout the U.S. Army. The LOGNet community of practice was established in response to a recognized need to provide logistics professionals within the Army with “experience on demand”, and to facilitate stronger connections between soldiers and units in the field or garrison, with Army institutions. Since implementing a community of practice based on Tomoye technology, knowledge and experience shared on LOGNet has resulted in improving the knowledge and experience level of the Army logistics workforce. The Army has been able to improve productivity to support the overall objective of driving excellence in logistics support.

U.S. Army "Company Command"
Company Command is a professional forum of U.S. Army leaders located throughout the world. Tasked with making fast and accurate decisions to complex problems, army officers need rapid responses from a variety of subject matter experts - quite often in the interest of saving lives.
Company Command, a Tomoye Community of Practice, now allows them to post questions and get advice and answers within minutes; answers that are tailored to their particular situation. Company Command was so successful that it received global media coverage from CNN, The New Yorker and others. It even went on to become the inspiration for a book titled "Company Command: Unleashing the Power of the Army Profession" which was published in 2005.
