Army of Knowledge Online (AKO) provides a webmail service via a safe and secure web interface to members of the military. AKO also provides blogs, e-mail, file storage, instant messenger, and online web chat for army personnel. The AKO Webmail is available to all members of the army and contractors, family dependents, and retired army personnel.

Do you only use your CAC (Common Access Card) to access AKO/DKO and are tired of resetting your password every 150 days?  Then CAC-Only login is for you.

CAC-Only login will disable your AKO/DKO password and you will only have the ability to access your AKO/DKO account with your CAC.

Warning: Setting your account to CAC-Only Login may prevent you from logging into any applications that don’t support CAC login and which use your AKO/DKO login information for authentication. (Such as MedPros)

The AKO Help Desk cannot remove CAC-only login from your account.

Army of Knowledge Online provides a secure method to transfer sensitive information through the internet for its users using a high level of encryption. AKO provides e-mail, stores files, chat, blogs, various location services, etc. One of its biggest assets is that it helps link all the websites together to provide information on medical, publications, regulations, and free anti-virus products.  AKO webmail provides a way for America’s Army at War, including places like Iraq, to communicate with each other and their loved ones. Once enlisted, army personnel are required to register for an AKO account.

Although Army of Knowledge Online is a very useful website, there are a lot of people who say that it is not very user friendly. Although AKO’s features may take some time to learn, once you do, you will find that it is a hub for many things that you will need to learn and know about throughout your military career.

The Army of Knowledge Online intranet serves over 2 million registered users, including active duty, and retired service personnel and their family members. According to the website, AKO is the “Pivotal Tool” for use in “Transforming the Army to a knowledge-based organization”.

The mission of AKO is very specific; transform the army into an information-age by networking organizations on the internet through applications like AKO webmail.

Only those who are part of the military can register for an Army webmail login. This includes active army members and army reserves, national guards, as well as retired army members and the guests of all personnel of the army. All account information for setting up AKO Webmail can be found on the military’s official website or ako-webmail.net.

AKO webmail will soon be going to 100% CAC. It is not their choice but instead they are being mandated by the CIO-G6 (Chief Information Officer – G6) office based on this memorandum.
