PENSACOLA, Fla. -- The Navy’s Center for Language, Regional Expertise and Culture (CLREC), a directorate of the Center for Information Warfare Training’s (CIWT), released a new version of its Navy Global Deployer application (app) for mobile devices, Feb. 21.

The Navy Global Deployer app is a Ready Relevant Learning tool that supports the Navy’s requirements for cultural orientation and language familiarization training. The app provides users with training and information on 62 countries and territories.
The app helps users understand foreign cultures, social norms, and taboos. It builds cross-cultural competence to facilitate mission success, whether the mission is a high-level engagement, liberty, or an overseas permanent change of station. It also provides useful information on language, history, geography, people and ethnic groups, religious institutions and social norms, as well as culturally appropriate behavior.
Users may download country-specific content and delete it after use, making room on the device for other content. The app’s country-specific information is divided into the following sections:
• Cultural Orientation Training – EDGE courses, COT courses, and Operational Cultural Awareness Training (OCAT) presentations.
• Culture Card – Quick-reference guides covering each country’s history, language, and culture.
• Professional Etiquette Guide – One-page executive summary on meeting and greeting, cultural values, nonverbal gestures, etc.
• Language Phrases – Useful, common phrases with audio recordings to assist pronunciation.
• Language Guides – Links to free, on-line resources for learning foreign languages.
• Language Jumpstart Guides – Basic information about a language and its grammar.
EDGE prepares users for assignments in the overseas fleet concentration areas of Bahrain, Italy, Japan, South Korea, and Spain. As a bonus, EDGE courses and videos for Culture Shock, Basic and Advanced Cross-Cultural Competence, and the strategically important countries of China, Iran, and Russia.
COT prepares Sailors for shorter-term deployments and engagements. All EDGE and COT courses allow Sailors to record course completion in their Electronic Training Jacket directly from the app!
