BCKS is trying to be what companycommand.com and platoonleader.com were 5 years ago. They're the latest knowledge sharing platforms the Army has attempted to use to bridge the gap due to people being brought out of the schoolhouses who used to write doctrine and FMs. BCKS is attempting to be the stopgap since we typically don't write branch specific doctrine anymore.

Having said that, I regularly visit BCKS pages I'm a member of and look in on others. I don't think it will ever get the participation that cc.com or pl.com have had and agree that there is a much more operationally relevent side to COIN on SWJ than there is on BCKS.
