The Heavy Brigade Combat Team (HBCT) Warfighters’ Forum (HWfF) is one of three BCT Warfighters’ Forums established at the direction of the Commanding General, United States Army Forces Command (FORSCOM), as a collaborative effort of the United States Army’s three Army Commands - FORSCOM, Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC), and Army Material Command (AMC) in 2008 to create web-based knowledge networks that allow Brigade Combat Teams to share their tacit and explicit knowledge with one another in their ongoing preparations for world-wide missions.〔BCT Warfighters’ Forum Charter, 19 March 2008 and (2010 Army Posture Statement, 19 February 2010 )〕 == History == The Warfighters' Forums (WfF) initiative is a web-based knowledge network established to enhance training, readiness, leader development and collaboration and information sharing among Brigade Combat Teams (BCT) and functional and multifunctional brigades.〔FORSCOM PAO Article, March 13, 2009: http://www.army.mil/-news/2009/03/13/18212-warfighters-forums-a-new-era-in-army-collaboration/〕 The program capitalizes upon the senior mentor roles performed by corps and Center of Excellence (CoE) commanders who integrate the functions of the WfF into refined staff organizations, internal battle rhythms, and routine interactive sessions with subordinate commanders world-wide. The WfF initiative recognizes the imperative to provide a proactive means to promote collaboration, share ideas, and find solutions to common problems across the Army, and to learn, innovate, decide, and act faster than our adversaries while operating in a condition of persistent conflict.〔2009 Army Posture Statement, May 7, 2009, Addenda A, Information Papers, Warfighters’ Forums (WfF) http://www.army.mil/aps/09/information_papers/warfighters_forums.html〕 The HWfF was officially established January 15, 2008 in accordance with the BCT Warfighters’ Forum Charter and FORSCOM directives.
