JKO portal offers joint online training

Army Logistician,  July-August, 2007  

To prepare servicemembers for joint and multinational operations, the Department of Defense has unveiled a new enterprise portal system called Joint Knowledge Online (JKO). The new system delivers online classes and learning tools, including joint task force handbooks, interactive courseware, training videos, and links to other online information. These resources are available not only to U.S. servicemembers but also to those who will be working with them in joint and multinational operations, such as personnel from government agencies, foreign militaries, and nongovernmental organizations.

JKO is aimed at reducing the amount of time service men and women spend away from their families and units while being trained for their joint missions. With JKO, Soldiers, Marines, Sailors, and Airmen can take basic portions of courses online before arriving at resident courses. The service-operated portals--Army Knowledge Online, MarineNet, Navy Knowledge Online, and Air Force Portal--will still provide service-specific training.
