Peacekeeping and anthropology

StrategyPage notes: The US Army is teaching cross cultural anthropology by using games. This enables direct work with locals in peacekeeping.

Ironically, I've stumbled across some of their webpage educational sites for various countries (not games, just descriptions). Lots of cultural points and tips for lots of countries.

And this page let me download useful medical phrases to use when I see sick employees and their families.

Medical personnel might consider downloading it if they need to talk to someone in Tagalog (or a couple dozen other unusual languages) in case your patient only speaks Khmer or Somali or Spanish.
