AMERICA’S ARMY OUR PROFESSION – STAND STRONG Language, Regional Expertise/Culture Program Objectives End states: 1) Soldiers, leaders and units with LREC competencies to prevail in Unified Land Operations with any combination of partners and allies. 2) Army culture which embraces the value of LREC and the requirement of career long development and sustainment of LREC competencies and capabilities as essential components of individual and unit readiness. Concept: To build LREC competencies and improve how units leverage LREC capabilities to effectively operate in the 21st century operational environment Result: An Army with improved LREC competencies and capabilities to effectively operate in the 21st century operational environment.

Policies and processes that align training, education, and experiential learning to prepare Soldiers, leaders and units by developing LREC competencies and capabilities across the institutional, operational, and self-development learning domains. 2. Critical processes are strategy integration and assessments. The Army must leverage existing governance forums (Army Leader Development Forum (ALDF), Training General Officer Steering Committee (TGOSC), Training Integration Forum (TIF), Army Language and Culture Enterprise (ALCE), and Army Learning Coordination Council (ALCC)) to coordinate and manage the implementation of the Army LREC Strategy. 18

AMERICA’S ARMY OUR PROFESSION – STAND STRONG RAF Task 4 (Unit Home Station Training Responsibility) Blended LREC Training Approach Description - Combines Distributed Learning PORs, web-based access to TSPs, MTT training in units, access to TRADOC functional courses/CALL and AWG Reports/socio-cultural KM repositories. A network of LREC enablers that can be brought to bear against a given unit’s training requirements. Enablers – DLIFLC (LTDs, BLTS, VTT, Rapport, Headstart2), JKO VCAT, TDC/DTMS, TCC CAC enabled learning content portal, TCC MTT program, Cultural Knowledge Consortium, University of Foreign Military and Culture Studies, Human Terrain System, LDESP, CALL, AWG. Benefit – Efficient and effective; replicates PDT Best Practices from OIF and OEF; DL delivers foundational knowledge and sets the conditions for hands-on, practical and performance oriented unit training designed to change a Soldier’s behavior. Units additionally have research access to a global network of LREC SMEs and Lessons Learned. Risk – Units must be sensitized to a multitude of programs and seize the initiative to leverage these LREC enablers; participation will likely be uneven across formations; planning/scheduling may be problematic for unit staffs. Cost – Medium cost; must leverage existing PORs; MTTs will be fee-for-service (reimbursable). Visit us at usacac.army.mil
