    41. 10/28/2011 5:49 AM Mitzi Wertheim, CNAC 41 Cultural Shift (cont) “The near term battle is for linguists, intelligence experts and FAOs. The long term battle is to develop an Officer Corps (and Senior NCO Corps) that is as comfortable and acculturated operating in this region tomorrow, as we were operating in Central Europe yesterday.”
