Book Description
Today, and in the foreseeable future, military operations require U.S. personnel to work alongside multinational partners and among local populations. The DoD has placed a greater emphasis on transforming language and regional proficiency capabilities, which includes cultural awareness. This testimony summarizes recommendations on DoD's efforts to develop language skills and regional proficiency and the steps DoD has taken to implement these prior recommendations. Specifically, the testimony addresses the extent to which DoD has: (1) developed a strategic plan to guide its language and regional proficiency transformation efforts; and (2) obtained the information it needs to identify capability gaps and assess risk.

Author: Challenging Time in DOPMA
Author: Peter SchirmerPublisher: Rand Corporation
ISBN: 0833039482
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 116
Book Description
"Many of the laws and policies that govern officer career management (often collectively referred to as "DOPMA," after the Defense Officer Personnel Management Act of 1980) have been in place for decades. DOPMA has served the needs of the services reasonably well, but the current system may not meet the requirements of the future operating environment. One criticism of DOPMA is that it does not allow for much variety in officers' career paths because it is time-driven. Alternatively, officers' competencies are now emerging as the basis for career management. In this monograph, the authors demonstrate how a competency-based officer personnel management system could provide more flexibility in preparing military officers for the wide range of roles and missions of the U.S. military in the 21st century. This analysis focuses on practices governing promotions for military officers and closely related assignment and retirement policies."--Rand web site
Language Diversity in the USA

Book Description
What are the most widely spoken non-English languages in the USA? How did they reach the USA? Who speaks them, to whom, and for what purposes? What changes do these languages undergo as they come into contact with English? This book investigates the linguistic diversity of the USA by profiling the twelve most commonly used languages other than English. Each chapter paints a portrait of the history, current demographics, community characteristics, economic status, and language maintenance of each language group, and looks ahead to the future of each language. The book challenges myths about the 'official' language of the USA, explores the degree to which today's immigrants are learning English and assimilating into the mainstream, and discusses the relationship between linguistic diversity and national unity. Written in a coherent and structured style, Language Diversity in the USA is essential reading for advanced students and researchers in sociolinguistics, bilingualism, and education.
