The purpose of this study is to investigate factors affecting the use of Army Tactical Command Information System (ATCIS) through the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). ATCIS has been operated by the Korean Army Corp/Division/Regiment since 2005. TAM represents an important theoretical contribution toward understanding computer usage and computer acceptance behaviors. This study explains the acceptance behavior in military organizations by applying TAM. The external variables were selected on the basis of previous research. The external variables are classified into the following categories: (1) individual factors, which includes computer self-efficacy, (2) organizational factors, which includes the influence of the upper class army and training; and (3) technological factors, which includes information quality. We collected 205 survey questionnaires from Korean army officers and soldiers who use ATCIS and analyzed the data using SPSS 12.0 and SmartPLS 2.0M3. According to the results through PLS analysis, computer self-efficacy, the influence of the upper class army, training, and the information quality was all satisfactory. Perceived usefulness and ease of use were also satisfactory. The results of this study will contribute to the further use of ATCIS and development strategy.
