The course objective is for students to summarize the Department of Defense (DoD) interactions with international partners, known as Security Cooperation (SC), SC Cross-Cultural Competence Concepts and Regional Orientation, and Fundamentals of Technology Security/Transfer.
The course will provide an overview of cross-cultural competence concepts and a regional orientation, centered on a selected Geographic Combatant Command (CCMD) area of responsibility (AOR). The course will provide an overview of the geographic, historical, and societal characteristics within a specific AOR. The course will also provide a familiarization on regional security issues and CCMD theater priorities. The course consists of three U.S. Air Force online modules: Air Force Culture General Course, Intercultural Communications, and CCMD Regional Overviews, from the U.S Air Force Advanced Distributed Learning Service (ADLS). While the courses are designed for an Air Force audience, the concepts presented are applicable to Security Cooperation Workforce professionals as they interact with international partners.
