Each TBS class at Quantico is getting more and more exposure to this program, Dr. Salmoni from the article gives a brief to each company in addition to cultural awareness tactical decision games.

All officers and SNCOs are being assigned a geographic region and will be required to complete correspondence courses on the culture and language. The most recent company to graduate TBS (mine, coincidentally) was only the second to be assigned "microregions". Additionally, both the Army and Marine Corps are changing the METT-T analysis concept to METT-TC. (The C stands for civilians for the Army, culture for the Marine Corps)

I'm a big believer in the new cultural program. My only problem with it is how we're going to sell it to young PFCs and Lance Coconuts who understandably see the best way to survive as shooting first and asking questions later.
