You're talking about the "free-flow" of information on a message board like Pelican.

This is not what you want in a military command scenario. "Compartmentalized information" is what military command needs to maintain the security over its information.

Trying to create efficiencies and allow "enough-flow" of information in a military command structure, but not "too-much-flow" that could result in security being threatened, is a very difficult task.

This is true even if you are talking about broader peace-time "training" knowledge -- you do not want a completely open system where information is exchanged too freely, since there will be too many risks of classified information leaking out.

You may find some models used in the private sector and private-government contracting sector -- especially as it relates to the handling of classified scientific information.

Just as you have a "forum moderator" to maintain a certain level of "order" on an information exchanging site like Pelican, you're probably going to find your best balance using things like "cognizant security officers" (term from DIA working with the private sector) to moderate the flow of information in a military organization.
