Which statement best describes KNOW in Be-Know-Do?

• A. The scheduling of training.
• B. The overall mission statement.
• C. The job skills and competence in technical and people skills.
• D. The primary weapons system used.

Answer: (C)

Know in Be-Know-Do captures the knowledge and abilities you must master to perform your role. It focuses on job skills and competence, including both technical capabilities and people skills. In practice, this means what you need to know and be able to do to operate effectively, solve problems, and collaborate with others. It isn’t about scheduling training (that’s planning a task to be done), nor about a unit’s mission statement (an organizational Be attribute), nor about a single weapons system (a specific factual detail). The best description is that KNOW encompasses the job skills and competence in technical and people skills.
