These university-level educational programs and the accompanying Regional and Country Guidebooks and multi-media support material provide a complete and substantive information on regions and topics of importance to the members of the US Armed Forces as well as the security and diplomatic personnel. They are arranged to impart concise information on the peoples, societies, and cultures in various US Military Command areas. The Programs examine in precise manner, the human terrain, the security and geopolitical dynamics of these regions as they impact American vital interests in the areas of deployment.

These Programs include, in addition to the standard Power Point briefings, 1) guidebooks of my own composition relevant to the topic and when pertinent; 2) introduction and analysis of research source material; 3) provision of bibliographies and supplemental readings; 4) documentary films during the lunch breaks (and at other designated time agreed upon with the team); 5) round table discussions at the end of the program with the participants (or their superior officers if they choose); 6) unlimited access to advice and consultation via phone or e-mail subsequent to the conclusion of the program; and 7) a certificate of attendance, that although is granted for professional development, it might secure the attendees a college level credit from participating institutions who are willing to do so.
