The AKO email is a platform which can be actually accessed with two layers of authentication. First there is needed the CAC (Common Access Card) which is issued by DoD and a PIN, and then there is the traditional password login. Remember that only persons in the armed forces can have access to this platform for information and communication purposes.

The AKO webmail has proved an extremely efficient platform, because besides offering email access, registered users can also have access to other secured features such as reading publications, setting up blogs or storing important files online. There is a also an extremely secured chat option included.

Access to the ako email can be obtained extremely easily given you are a member of the military (or even a civilian employee of the military). You will also be required to offer personal data for the registering process (such as birth date, or other personal info and documents). Having access to everything you need through a highly secured environment is crucial, especially when being a member of the armed forces.
