Practical impacts and effectiveness of cultural intelligence
Article Abstract:
The impact of culture intelligence on the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit (Special Operations Capable) (15th MEU(SOC)) participation in the humanitarian assistance (HA) operations in Sri Lanka as part of Operation UNIFIED ASSISTANCE (OUA) and counterinsurgency operations in south Baghdad as part of Operation IRAQI FREEDOM III (OIF III) is discussed. Cultural intelligence is the leading vehicle that allows an analyst to break the cultural paradigms that limit the understanding of a culture and provide a realistic, detailed analysis of the threat and it is also one of the keys to operating in virtually any battlespace.

Anytime, anyplace
Article Abstract:
The Expeditionary Strike Group 5 (ESG-5) team, which consisted of the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit (Special Operations Capable) (15th MEU(SOC)) and the amphibious ships and sailors of Amphibious Squadron 7 (PhibRon-7), was sent to tsunami ravaged Sri Lanka for the upcoming humanitarian assistance (HA) operation. The 15th MEU(SOC) operations on the ground in Indonesia and Sri Lanka in support of Operation UNIFIED ASSISTANCE (OUA) spanned the period 4 to 19 January 2005 and the Marines and the sailor of the MEU proved equal to every challenge and lived up to their motto, 'anytime, anyplace'.
