Overall CAOCL Survey II Findings: The Values and Use of Culture by Type of Deployment

Abstract

Over a thousand Marines participated in an online survey about their value and use of foreign engagement, interpreters, cultural skills, and cultural resources on various deployments, to include several open-ended questions. For the majority of the survey, Marines responded to questions based on their deployments to Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom, or a deployment other than those operations. Overall, independent of type of deployment, Marines strongly endorsed the value of culture for their deployments across a variety of skills, knowledge, and engagements but also offered suggestions for improving the use of cultural knowledge, skills, and training in their narrative responses.
