The components of the identity war include: Existence of basic ideological faults, interventionists and actors, and conflicting Islamic discourses. The most dangerous consequence of this war is the failure to realize the modern Islamic civilization, transformation of the geographical boundaries into the ideological boundaries and the possible beginning of the Third World War, so the identity war is an all-inclusive war and is carried out in the cultural, political, economic, military, religious, security and geographic dimensions.

Nowadays, using the organizational knowledge and its effective sharing among the employees of the organizations has turned into a strategic source to achieve competitive advantage and its maintenance. In order to achieve such an advantage, the organizations need mechanisms that enable them to improve the knowledge sharing function and help them achieve a better status. But in military organizations, security considerations are prioritized, and this subject may have different impacts on the way and results of knowledge sharing in organization and its performance. This research, which seeks to assess the impact of knowledge sharing mechanisms on improving the efficiency of a military organization regarding the mediating variable of security considerations, from the point of orientation is an applied research and regarding its purpose is a descriptive-analytic one, and its spatial scope is one military organizations of the country. In order to carry out the research, first, the effective factors of the research were identified by studying the research literature and using library method, and the conceptual model of the research was considered. Then, the SEM structural equations method was used to study the relationships of the proposed model. The statistical population of the study was 130 individuals and using Cochran's formula, 98 individuals were selected as the statistical sample. The results of the research indicate that the knowledge sharing mechanisms (with five components) positively influence the empowerment of the organization by mediating security considerations (with four components).

Persistence of capabilities, transfers every program and plan relating to future to an acceptable level of sustainability and persistence, in a way that in the face of environmental developments has the highest durability.
