Cultural Guide SMARTbook 1 - Afghanistan

by Norman M. Wade and Dag Hansen

Military engagement, security cooperation, and deterrence activities encompass a wide range of actions where the military instrument of national power is tasked to support OGAs and cooperate with IGOs (e.g., UN, NATO) and other countries to protect and enhance national security interests and deter conflict. These operations usually involve a combination of military forces and capabilities as well as the efforts of OGAs, IGOs, and NGOs in a complementary fashion. Ideally, security cooperation activities remedy the causes of crisis before a situation deteriorates and requires coercive US military intervention. Cultural awareness has become an increasingly important competency for leaders at all levels. Perceptive leaders learn how cultures affect operations. Effective leaders adapt to new situations, realizing their words and actions may be interpreted differently in different cultures. *** Find the latest edtion of this book and the rest of our series of military reference SMARTbooks at the publishers website: www.TheLightningPress.com ***
