—Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Service members fluent in foreign languages are becoming more valuable to the Department of Defense. While a few members of the Navy’s information warfare community (IWC) already are proficient in them, the IWC broadly lacks language capabilities and is under-invested in routinely training its members in particularly useful languages. This deficiency creates issues in information exchange with allies and a void in the deeper understanding of adversaries and competitors. To improve the situation, the Navy can make a number of relatively low-cost, high-yield investments in foreign language proficiency: funding and enrolling more IWC sailors in DoD language schools, paying for commercially available language services to sustain more sailors, and employing fluent speakers to help teach foreign languages to other IWC sailors. Eventually, the IWC should link foreign language proficiency to some of its members’ professional knowledge and enable language competency to count toward promotion and advancement, paving the way toward a multilingual fleet.
