About Us

The United States national security strategy focuses on global engagement, global partnerships, and expanded mutual security responsibilities. To support this policy, the Air Force has developed roles and missions aimed at promoting regional stability, rendering humanitarian assistance, encouraging emerging democracies, gathering intelligence, and projecting and applying air power when necessary.

Today’s officers from all Air Force career fields and specialties will find themselves globally engaged. The Department of Languages and Cultures provides future officers with broad-based, foreign area-related skills for worldwide service commitments. These skills are developed through our department’s foreign language courses and International Education Programs.
