Cultural Competency Training in the United States Marine Corps

<p>The U.S. Marine Corps faces great challenges as it participates in the Long War. To enhance its chances of success in this war the Marine Corps must institutionalize the importance of cultural awareness in military operations by adopting a comprehensive training program. This training will ensure that Marines deploying in support of the Long War possess the appropriate level of cultural competency to be successful in the field. Marines will need both cultural awareness and language training to achieve this competency and the training requirements will differ based on a Marine's duty assignment and military specialty.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
