Is army knowledge online mandatory in the army?

Yes, Army Knowledge Online (AKO) was a mandatory platform for U.S. Army personnel to access various resources, training materials, and official communications. However, AKO was officially retired in 2020, and its functionalities have been transitioned to other platforms like the Army's Integrated Personnel and Pay System (IPPS-A) and the Army Learning Management System (ALMS). While specific platforms may change, the need for online resources and training remains essential in the Army.
