Delivering Cultural Competence

[jenniferro10]

a.) What do we mean "culture?" - it's a woolly imprecise term of no actual use to soldiers, in the context it is being used.
b.) The primary requirement is to teach soldiers how not to cause offence or make situations worse by being rude or disrespectful...
...IMO, ditch the "cultural competence/understanding" stuff and instead boil it down to:

• Language training (3 levels)
• RELEVANT Local beliefs, customs and courtesies.

Keep it simple and effective.

All points addressed in my original post, with no exceptions.
