ABSTRACT
To date, there are no current validated instruments designed to assess cross-cultural competence (3C) in the military domain. To address this need, we developed the Cross-Cultural Competence Inventory (3CI), a 58-item self-report instrument to measure the six hypothesized dimensions of 3C. The purpose ofthis tool is to assist commanders in evaluating the readiness of their troops to interact effectively and appropriately with foreign nationals, multi-national coalition forces, and other individuals, agencies and organizations.
