Regimental functional areas on AKO

Army Communicator, Fall, 2004

Functional Area 24, Telecommunications Systems Engineering, and FA53, Information Systems Management, have a new home on the Army Knowledge Online portal. Each functional area now has its own AKO Community Page.

These Community Pages give our officers a place to go to get current information about their functional areas. The pages also provide career planning information for officers interested in FA24 or FA53. Each page has several "channels" including:

* Hot Topics,

* E-mail Contacts,

* Training and Education,

* Professional Development,

* Critical Links.

There is also a functional area calendar of events and links to collaboration centers for each functional area. Anyone with an AKO account can access the Community Pages.

For FA24, log into AKO and on the left menu follow MACOMS [right arrow] TRADOC [right arrow] Signal Center [right arrow] OCOS [right arrow] FA24. The path to the FA53 Community Page is MACOMS [right arrow] TRADOC [right arrow] Signal Center [right arrow] OCOS [right arrow] A53.
