The main objective is to ensure Marines deploy with an operational understanding of the local military and partner cultures and regional dynamics relevant to the mission with select Marines being language-enabled, in order to facilitate mission success. The scope of this effort is for the provision of operational, technical, and programmatic support of CAOCL mission requirements.

Specific capabilities include translational social science research, program analysis, assessment, policy support, curriculum development, instructional systems design in accordance with established training and education standards. Additional capabilities include subject matter experts in operationally relevant culture general concepts and skilled in social and behavioral science (with sufficient knowledge of military missions) who can integrate culture general in CAOCL's education and training materials.
