Download or read book Applications in Operational Culture: Perspectives From The Field written by Paula Holmes-Eber and published by Marine Corps. This book was released on 2012-01-04 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the U.S. military has learned in Iraq and Afghanistan, working effectively with local populations is essential to operational success. In the past few years, all of the services have developed cultural education and training programs to prepare their members for operating overseas. To date, however, there has been no systematic effort to record and analyze the cultural lessons learned by these service members once they return from the field. Applications in Operational Culture: Perspectives from the Field presents six essays by experienced field-grade officers on the challenges, successes, and future warfighting problems of applying culture to military operations. The chapters in this book focus on a spectrum of issues relevant to today's Marines and other service members. These include essays on the cultural and practical difficulties of training the Iraqi army; understanding tribal factors in Afghanistan; questioning the applicability of Maslow's hierarchy in Iraqi culture; and developing a cultural training program for the Australian army. Drawing on cultural concepts developed in the companion text, Operational Culture for the Warfighter, the six contributors to this book turn theory into practice, evaluating the challenges of applying cultural principles to the realities of today's field environments.

Book Synopsis Analytical Tools for the Application of Operational Culture by : Karen Grattan
Download or read book Analytical Tools for the Application of Operational Culture written by Karen Grattan and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Recent Operations in Iraq and Afghanistan have spurred the United States Marine Corps (USMC) to more formally come to terms with the need to consider and take into account the local context within which its operations are undertaken. The Marine Corps has focused on articulating the concept of Operational Culture and incorporating it into the planning and execution of operations. The objectives of the Analytical Tools for the Application of Operational Culture: A Case Study in the Trans-Sahel Study, were to describe, evaluate, and improve the way the Marine Corps integrates Operational Culture into the planning of missions and operations. The intent was to develop and apply an Integrating Framework to help Marines distill relevant cultural knowledge and effectively map it to the Marine Corps Planning Process (MCPP) for missions and operations. The study was sponsored by the Center for Advanced Operational Culture Learning (CAOCL) and chartered to employ conceptual models and analytical frameworks grounded in social science and military environments to develop and apply a tool that can enhance the ability of Marines to integrate relevant Operational Culture into mission and operations planning."--Abstract.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook is designed to help Marines link concepts of culture to the realities of planning and executing military operations around the world. The book has three primary goals: To provide a theoretically sound framework of five basic cultural dimensions, based on clear, academically accurate definitions, which are relevant to military missions. To apply these basic cultural principles to actual environments to which Marines and other members of the U.S. military have deployed, or may deploy in the future, showing how the principles of Operational Culture can be applied across the geographic and kinetic spectrum of operations. To develop a capacity among Marines at all levels to think systematically about culture, and to apply that thinking to learning about culture in both professional military education and pre-deployment training.This book is of equal utility to company-grade and field-grade officers, as well as for staff non-commissioned officers (SNCOs). It is to be used in the classrooms of the Marine Corps, and will also serve as a reference tool in the fleet. Finally, it can help commanders and planners to incorporate culture in every step of the road prior to and during deployment, from unit training, to planning, to the ongoing commander's evaluation of the battlespace. These capabilities are particularly germane in current and future operating environments.Purpose of Operational Culture for the Warfighter * Framing the Problem: "Irregular" Warfare and the Significance of Culture * Back to Clausewitz * Integrating Culture in the Military Domain * Purpose and Structure * As We Cross the Line of Departure * Part I - Terms of Reference * Chapter One: Context * A Historical Approach to Culture in Operations * The Conceptual Context * The Five Operational Culture Dimensions * Chapter Two: Defining Culture * Military Definitions of Culture * Culture: An Operational Definition * From "Culture" to "Operational Culture" * Conclusion * Part II - Five Operational Culture Dimensions for Planning and Execution * Chapter Three: Dimension I -The Physical Environment * How Culture Groups Relate to their Environments * Operationally Relevant Features of the Physical Environment * Water * Land * Food * Materials for Shelter * Climate and Seasons * Fuel and Power * Transportation and Communication Networks * Chapter Four: Dimension II - The Economy of a Culture * Formal and Informal Economic Systems * Goods and Services in the Informal Economy * People Who Participate in the Informal Economy * Economy as a Dynamic Network of Exchange * Egalitarian and Communal Distribution * Direct Reciprocal Exchange * Symbolic Directional Exchange Economy as a Way of Structuring Social Relationships * Pastoralism * Agriculturalism * Industrial Production * Chapter Five: Dimension III -- Social Structure * Understanding Social Structures * Factors Affecting Position within the Social Structure * Age * Gender * Kinship and Tribal Membership * Class * Ethnicity, Ethnic Identity, and Membership * Religious Membership * Chapter Six: Dimension IV -- Political Structure * Political Organization * Political Structures Defined * Bands * Tribes * Chiefdoms * States * Who Holds Power: Cultural Forms of Leadership * Formal Leaders * Informal Leaders * Leadership in Acephalous Societies * Episodic Leaders * Councils and Oligarchies * Hereditary Leadership * Dictators and Strongmen * Elected and Selected Leadership * Culture and Law * Law as Cultural Mirror * "Inside and Outside" the Law: The State versus Local Cultural Groups * Conflict Resolution and Law * Conflicts Over Power: Challenges to Existing Political Structures * Chapter Seven: Dimension V -- Belief Systems * Some Features of Beliefs and Symbols * History, Imagined Memory, and Folklore * Icons * Symbols and Communication * Rituals * Norms, Mores, and Taboos * Religious Beliefs * Formal Religion * Informal Religion * Part III * Toward Applying Operational Culture

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: `In a cogent and easily accessible style, it provides superb guidelines for observing, interpreting, and understanding the subtle and complex nuances of an organization′s culture. The integration of qualitative research methods with cultural analyses makes this text distinctive and valuable addition to any organizational communication class′ - Linda Putnam, Texas A&M University `The authors skillfully weave together theory, application, and their professional experiences to create a wonderfully useful book that meets the needs of students and practitioners. Anyone who takes cultural analysis seriously should read this book′ - Phillip G Clampitt, University of Wisconsin-Green Bay and Metacomm `Organizational Culture in Action fills a real resource gap. It is a "workbook" in the most positive sense of the word. It offers enough step-by-step guidance to give students the confidence they need to move forward independently. At the same time, it does not sidestep the theoretical complexities, conflicts, and confusions surrounding the world of organizational culture and cultural analysis. The book is well conceived, usefully structured, and filled with application exercises that really make sense and are pedagogically justified. My students found it to be both accessible and stimulating′ - John Gribas, Idaho State University What is organizational culture? And how might knowledge of culture improve our organizational performances? This stimulating workbook guides students through data collection, analysis, interpretation, and application of organizational culture data using a practical five-step process. It begins by explaining theories on which organizational culture is based. It then provides guides for gathering information to help improve organizational performance. Based on more than 20 years of experience in using this approach with hundreds of students, the authors help students apply cultural insights to fostering diversity, supporting organizational change, making leadership more dynamic, exploring the link between ethics and culture, and making organizations more effective overall.
