Introduction to the 2018 Military Cross-Cultural Competence Annotated Bibliography In an attempt to keep it a living document, an update was made to the Military Cross-Cultural Competence (3C) Annotated Bibliography in 2016 to contribute new annotations of work that had been published since the bibliography was initially compiled. The 2016 version did not, however, address any of the larger developments that have occurred within the 3C community of interest or its relevance to the changing nature of global conflict. This introduction seeks to address a number of salient issues that have arisen since the original 2014 publication of this annotated bibliography to provide readers with a sense of context, persistent challenges, and the evolving relevance of military cross-cultural competence. An Ever-Present and Expanding Need While the more recent efforts to develop effective military 3C training and education were spurred on by the insurgencies in Iraq and Afghanistan, these concepts and skills have proven to be useful beyond simply interacting with the ‘other’ to win hearts and minds. As the operations in which military personnel are engaged become ever more complex, the ability to understand and interact with allies, the indigenous population, and adversaries is critical. This is evident in recent coalition operations in Iraq and Syria, as well as in other theater security cooperation activities across the globe. As 3C educators have been saying for decades, the kinds of misunderstandings that are inherent to intercultural interactions are not limited to overseas assignments. We experience cultural difference when we interact with those that look at and experience the world differently than we do. Factors that contribute to this could include: generational, gendered, ethnic, and racial differences, among others. The 3C enablers (perspective-taking, holism, curiosity, for example) referenced throughout the bibliography provide military personnel with tools for anticipating and managing the challenges associated with cultural difference. Although its applicability to mission effectiveness may not be immediately obvious, 3C is relevant across rank and MOS and must be viewed more broadly as both a mindset and a skillset necessary across leadership contexts. Just as the need for culture has evolved and expanded, as has the role of education in the career of the military professional. The 2015 (p. A-3) Officer Professional Military Education Policy defines education as learning that focuses on “the cognitive domain and fosters breadth of view, diverse perspectives, critical analysis, abstract reasoning, comfort with ambiguity and uncertainty, and innovative thinking, particularly with respect to complex, non-linear problems.” As cultural education touches on all of these aspects and teaches individuals to think critically about them in ever- changing and ambiguous situations, it can be said that 3C is one of the most potent educational multipliers available.
