  Knowledge Management
  4-190. Knowledge management facilitates the transfer of knowledge among commanders,staffs,and forces
  to build and maintain situational understanding. Knowledge management helps get the right information to
  the right person at the right time to facilitate decision-making. Knowledge management uses a five-step
  process to create a shared understanding. (See paragraphs 4-88to 4-96for a further discussion.) The steps of
  knowledge management include—
  (cid:122) Assess.
  (cid:122) Design.
  (cid:122) Develop.
  (cid:122) Pilot.
  (cid:122) Implement.
  SECTION III – THE EXERCISE OF COMMAND AND CONTROL
  4-191. The BCT commander organizes the headquarters into CPs and by staff sections,cells,elements,and
  teams to assist in the exercise of command and control. This section addresses BCT staff organization,CP
  organization and operation,cells,staff elements and teams,and staff processes and procedures.
  STAFF ORGANIZATION
  4-192. The BCT staff supports the commander, assists subordinate units, and informs units and
  organizations outside the headquarters. The staff supports the BCT commander’s understanding,making and
  implementing decisions, controlling operations, and assessing progress. The staff makes recommendations
  and prepares plans and orders for the commander. The staff establishes and maintains a high degree of
  coordination and cooperation with staffs of higher,lower,supporting,supported,and adjacent units. The staff
  does this by actively collaborating and communicating with commanders and staffs of subordinate and other
  units to solve problemsethically,effectively,and efficiently to accomplish the mission—consistent with the
  moral principles of the Army Ethic (see ADP 1). The staff keeps civilian organizations informed with relevant
  information according to their security classification as well as their need to know. (See figure 4-14 on
  page4-46.) The basic BCT staff structure includes an XO and various staff sections. A staff section is a
  grouping of staff members by area of expertise under a coordinating, special, or personal staff officer
  (FM6-0).
