What is a Unit University?
A Unit University is a
customizable website used to
provide commanders, training staffs
and Soldiers with access to the most
up-to-date training and training
products for their unit missions.
Unit Universities provide direct
access to Training and Doctrine
Command approved military
occupational specialty training,
downloadable training products
(Computer Based Trainings, Simulators,
Interactive Multimedia Instruction
products), and current links to
other available training sites.
What kind of training is available?
Unit Universities provide your
training staff and Soldiers with
direct access to the same course
training materials, presentations,
and documents used in the Signal
Center’s resident school training
environment. Also available to your
Unit University is the LWNeU-
Signal knowledge repository, which
is a current collection of over 600
downloadable products organized in
47 separate learning areas including
32 high-end simulators, 100 Computer-Based
Training products,
signal technical and professional
documents, presentations, and
manuals. The LWNeU-Signal
knowledge repository also provides
the Regiment with an upload
capability for Soldiers to upload
local unit developed training content
to share across the Regiment.
Examples of training content
that can immediately be loaded onto
a Unit University range from typical
25B tasks in Information Technology
and networking to installing, operating
and maintaining WIN-T Increment
1. In addition to the training
content developed by Fort Gordon,
the LLC staff can link your Unit
University directly to the most
current sources of training for Army
Battle Command Systems, All
Source Analysis System, Battle
Command Support Sustainment
System and Command Post of the
Future, as well as, Logistics Information
Systems that include Movement

deliver training that cannot be
obtained locally to forces in
ARFORGEN reset, sustainment, or
deployed in Theaters of Operation.
Individual Soldiers with a valid
Army Knowledge Online account
can access their Unit University
anywhere they can connect to the
Internet.
Can you add locally created unit
training to your Unit University?
Yes, many units also use their
Unit Universities to host unit created
training, information briefs and
command briefs.
How long does it take to build a
Unit University Page for my unit?
Your Unit University can be
fully loaded with training and
operational within three days.
Five reasons why your unit
needs a Unit University:
1. Availability: The training is
available to your unit and Soldiers
regardless of their location. Soldiers
can train at home station, in a theater
of operations, at their residence, or
anywhere there is access to the
internet.
2. Training Cost Reduction:
No need to spend manpower or
funds to stand up and manage a
separate IT training system for your
