Homebound colonel creates Telework center of excellence

Filed · 1551

FORT LIVING ROOM—The army announced it would stand up the Teleworking Center of Excellence by the end of the month, sources at Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) report.

Col. Marcus Palmer, a staff officer at TRADOC, told reporters that after four days of teleworking, he was now ready to train, assist, and advise the army writ large in the doctrinal foundations of telework excellence, which “increases telework readiness, builds digital lethality, and fosters social distancing innovation.”

“The Telework Center of Excellent focuses on the fundamentals of army leadership—drafting PowerPoint slides, reporting metrics on excel spreadsheets, turning little bubbles from red to yellow, and responding to e-mails with at least 18 people on the CC line,” Palmer says.
