1. Cultural considerations are a pervasive factor throughout full spectrum operation. 
2. Understanding the effect of operations as seen through the lens of the Iraqi culture and psyche is a foremost planning consideration for every operation.
3. These considerations are an integral component of the “indirect approach” and “small wars capabilities”.
4. How best to energize these capabilities.
5. Cultural knowledge is a necessary but insufficient component upon which to build the broad cultural capability needed by general-purpose forces to meet current and future challenges.

The problem is how we can measure the stay of nature of human security in other words the harming threats of an individual which is limit or refined its manageable and measurable lists. The core principle of human security of the individual is the state should be at the centre of security policy and its roots are laid at the enlighten of liberalism. 

The cultural awareness is the central to ensure the success of the operations and its low intensity conflicts. The message was incomplete without knowing the tacit and embedded concepts of message conveys and communication. To develop the explore the cultural difference and better understanding of cultures.

The signs that the military uses are the realizes which needs to significantly increase the cultural intelligence.

The limits of their applications to the intercultural setting are due to the cultural boundary underlying in the existence of the intelligences. The general concept of culture is CQ which ahs the potential to equip leaders skills along with helping itself to adapt in effective multinational environment. The framework I not meant for prescriptive but provide a comprehensive guideline for the developing cultural education curriculum and training programmers for both military leaders and soldiers.

The implementation and development of the CQ based training framework is the distilling the learning from the cultural experiences in multinational operating context. Military forces needs to consider the best method to educate the leaders about the cultural competent and validate the approaches and training methods.
