Resources

Joint Lessons Learned Information System (JLLIS)

JLLIS is the DoD authoritative system for gathering, developing, and disseminating lessons learned for the Armed Forces that enables Joint Lessons Learned Program (JLLP) and Army Lessons Learned Program (ALLP) information and knowledge management.  The JLLIS facilitates the collection, tracking, management, sharing, collaborative resolution, dissemination, and archiving of information to improve the development, design, and readiness of the Joint Force.

The LLB migrated its repository to JLLIS. In addition to the documents loaded by the LLB, JLLIS provides a repository of After Action Reports and observations from other Army medical units and Sister Services. The information is sorted in three Communities of Practice (COPs): After Action Reports (AARs), Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs).

Before accessing JLLIS, users must first pre-register with the Joint Training Platform.

JLLIS also provides reference document, user guides, capability briefs, brochures, and virtual classrooms to facilitate its use.

Quick-Fire Observation Portal

Quick-Fire is a comprehensive lessons learned platform designed to capture observations, demonstrate progress, and provide in-depth details on solutions. Quick-Fire provides Soldiers a means to submit unclassified observations from their smart phone by following the QR code below or using the Center for Army Lessons Learned SharePoint site to submit controlled unclassified information (CUI) and attachments at https://armyeitaas.sharepoint-mil.us/teams/lessonslearned/SitePages/Quick-Fire-Obs.aspx.

The Med Minute provides a 1-minute video on Quick-Fire at https://www.youtube.com/shorts/4rvSXbcSxE8.

The LLB also uses Quick-Fire to upload observations from collections, briefings, trip reports, and various other sources to integrate and archive information. Quick-Fire allows users to search its observations. 

LLB SharePoint

The LLB uses SharePoint to connect healthcare professionals across the medical community. The SharePoint site hosts recent articles and briefings of interest to Army Medicine. The site replaces the LLB milBook following the platform's sunsetting.
