Abstract

RAND Corporation and MITRE Corporation researchers examined how U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) language regional expertise, and culture (LREC) training and capabilities relate to overall unit readiness and mission accomplishment the existing means of tracking LREC skills among general purpose forces, the extent to which current tracking reflects LREC unit readiness, and ways DoD can improve tracking and measurement for this purpose. They found that the current LREC tracking has limited ability to support LREC decisionmaking and provided short- and long-term recommendations.
