Innovative mobile learning system for understanding complex military operations and funding

Challenge: Educating High-Profile Visitors on Complex Military Operations

The United States Special Operations Command (SOCOM) operates distinctively within the military, receiving funding contributions from all branches and conducting joint operations. Its funding mechanisms and operational strategies are intricate and often not well understood by external stakeholders. High-profile visitors, such as senators and congresspeople, frequently visit SOCOM facilities. The challenge was to efficiently educate these important visitors about the history, purpose, and complex funding of SOCOM without demanding excessive time from generals and staff for in-person briefings.

Solution: A Comprehensive and Adaptive Briefing App

To address this challenge, a specialized briefing app was developed. This app was designed as a learning system to provide detailed briefings on SOCOM’s operations and funding procedures. Key features and innovations of the app included:

1. Multi-Platform Compatibility: Given the diverse range of technologies used by the visitors, the app was engineered to be compatible with various devices, including Windows phones and BlackBerry tablets. This ensured accessibility for all users, regardless of their preferred technology.

2. Dynamic Content Management: The app was equipped with a system that allowed SOCOM historians and budget personnel to update and modify the in-app content. This feature was critical in ensuring that the information provided was current, accurate, and relevant. The app’s interface was designed to allow changes in menu structures and content, offering a flexible and user-friendly experience.

3. In-Transit Learning Experience: Recognizing the busy schedules of senators and congresspeople, the app was tailored for use during transit. This approach allowed these high-profile visitors to utilize their travel time effectively by gaining a comprehensive understanding of SOCOM’s operations and funding before arriving at the base.
