The Expeditionary Culture Field Guides (ECFGs) are pocket-size handbooks packed with invaluable cultural information. The guides are designed to help US forces achieve mission success in culturally complex environments. Each guide complements other training media, such as online training and hands-on instruction.
Part 1 introduces Culture General, the foundational knowledge you need to operate effectively in any global environment.

Part 2 presents Culture Specific Chad, focusing on unique cultural features of Chadian society and is designed to complement other pre-deployment training. It applies culture-general concepts to help increase your knowledge of your assigned deployment location.

Primary audience are members of the military to be deployed to Chad to prepare for missions. Military members due to serve in similar cultures and U.S. citizens considering travel across the region may also be interested in this publication. Additionally students pursuing coursework in this region of the world may be interested in this reference for global studies and world history classes.
