"Language and cultural training are force multipliers for the Department of Defense (DoD). They build bridges, facilitate communication, foster understanding, and form the foundations of partnerships that are necessary to ensure U.S. vital interests are met around the globe. Both aid in the use of soft power, using influence and power to build networks within partner and allied nations to help shape economic and political conditions favorable to the U.S., rather than relying solely on hard power, the use of military force. Understanding language and culture can bridge seemingly impassible chasms. It provides the context for true understanding and communication. This context is true across the whole DoD and all its global missions; however, due to Africa’s linguistic diversity, USAFRICOM will be looked at specifically. More focus, research, and funding are required on how language and cultural training can be used to enhance military readiness, build partnership capabilities, and meet the vital interests laid out in the U.S. National Defense Strategy."--Abstract.

Violent extremist movements and ongoing military operations have prompted the Department of Defense (DoD) to place greater emphasis on improving language and regional proficiency, which includes cultural awareness. GAO was asked to assess the extent to which DoD has done the following: (1) developed a strategic plan to guide its language and regional proficiency transformation efforts, and (2) obtained the information it needs to identify potential language and regional proficiency gaps and assess risk. To conduct this assessment, GAO analyzed DoD's Defense Language Transformation Roadmap, reviewed the military services' strategies for transforming language and regional proficiency capabilities, and assessed the range of efforts intended to help identify potential gaps. GAO recommends that DoD do the following: (1) develop a comprehensive strategic plan for its language and regional proficiency transformation, (2) establish a mechanism to assess the regional proficiency skills of its military and civilian personnel, and (3) develop a methodology to identify its language and regional proficiency requirements. DoD concurred with GAO's recommendations and stated it is taking related actions.

The Dept. of Defense (DOD) has emphasized the importance of developing language skills and knowledge of foreign cultures to meet current and future needs and is investing millions of dollars to provide language and culture predeployment training to its general purpose forces. DOD has also noted that such training should be viewed as a long-term investment and that training and personnel systems should better account for the knowledge and skills of service members acquired through training to help manage its forces. This report reviewed language and culture training for Army and Marine Corps general purpose forces. It evaluated the extent to which these services (1) captured information in training and personnel systems on the completion of language and culture predeployment training and proficiency gained from training and (2) developed plans to sustain language skills acquired through predeployment training. Includes recommendations. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
