"This guide is designed to help prepare you for deployment to culturally complex environments and successfully achieve mission objectives. ... The guide consists of two parts: Part 1 "culture general" introduces the foundational knowledge you need to operate effectively in any global environment -- Southeast Asia in particular. Part 2 "culture specific" describes the unique cultural features of Vietnamese society. This section is designed to complement other pre-deployment training. It applies culture-general concepts to help increase your knowledge of your assigned deployment."--Page 2 of cover.
