CADRE Quick-Look: Foreign Language Posture in the US Air Force
|
|
|
|
In: DTIC (2004)

Abstract:
The Air Force has no central language program or an overarching language plan. These issues are not new nor have they been ignored. In the past two decades numerous articles, studies, and Process Action Teams have reported the same problems and all have recommended numerous solutions, to no avail. Why are these problems so thoroughly articulated but not resolved? One explanation is that the Air Force has successfully met each immediate language challenge, but just barely. Over the years, "just in time" language training, contract linguists, and most recently, two-year mobilization of reservists all helped to meet active force shortfalls with varying degrees of success. In short, the Air Force has muddled through its language crises. It's time to publish and promulgate clear guidance and a single vision for the Air Force language program from the Secretary of the Air Force. To do this, the Air Force must be a full partner in the Department of Defense (DoD) language transition initiative to make sure all Air Force language needs are fully articulated. This issue of CADRE Quick-Look presents some solutions for the lack of foreign-language proficiency in the Air Force. ; CADRE Quick-Look 04-13.
