Sommario/riassunto

"With the ongoing institutionalization of culture-related programs in military Services, the availability of regional and culture-specific education and training, as well as opportunities for building language skills, have improved dramatically since the early 2000s.

The intent was-and is-to complement the regional, culture-specific, and language approaches already in place or being developed. Culture general concepts and skills help
