For those who think collaboration technology simply breaks down rigid 
command and control management hierarchies, consider the origins of the 
term: the military.

The US military have had a significant online presence with various 
online forums for rank and file, commanders and other lines of business 
- all behind user name and password of course - for the last decade or so.

This collaborative component of military life is an essential part of 
the US military as this article ‘CompanyCommand—Building Combat-Ready 
Teams: Leaders Describe How the CompanyCommand Forum Makes a Difference‘ 
in Army magazine discusses.
