The Need for Enterprise 2.0 in the Military
summary
TroopSwap.com is a functioning Craigslist for the military aiming to democratize battlefield information that currently flows one way up a battalion of ~700 soldiers and four companies of ~180 each. Two field anecdotes show consequences: a missed attack on July 6, 2007 leads to a friendly‑fire casualty when liaison reports fail, while a passed intelligence tip yields capture of two Al‑Qaeda militants. The claim is that secure social software platforms and programs like Apps for the Army add redundancy and push decision authority to the frontline.
