The goal was simple: teach Marines to interact successfully with the local population in areas of conflict. The implications, however, were anything but simple: transform an elite military culture founded on the principles of \"locate, close with, and destroy the enemy\" into a \"culturally savvy\" Marine Corps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eCulture in Conflict: Irregular Warfare, Culture Policy, and the Marine Corps\u003c\/i\u003e examines the conflicted trajectory of the Marine Corps' efforts to institute a radical culture policy into a military organization that is structured and trained to fight conventional wars.
