Army Values
stated Haseli.
The 51st TICO is unique in that it falls under the Regimental Support Squad- Try a little

ron, 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment, supporting the NTC, but its members TENDERNESS®
and daily operations impact complex political situations globally. Soldiers of 51st
TICO have worked with the secretary of defense and similar-level government Save 77% on Omaha Steaks
officials. It is the interpreter/translator Soldier’s words and products, which are
read and understood by host nation government officials.

“Oftentimes we had to choose our words very carefully,” said Spc. Alexander
Goda, a 51st TICO Soldier who redeployed recently. “Interpreter/translators were
acting as mediators between generals and officials with different priorities. My
goal was to transmit the message, without using culturally offensive language.”

At the NTC, the 51st TICO continuously conducts deployment readiness of
its Soldiers while participating in the mission of training rotational units (Army
brigade combat teams). The Soldiers provide support in the mock villages spread
throughout the 1,200 square miles of training area. They operate logistics in
the areas of food, water and generator power. They also support leadership and
Soldiers running “white cells” in the villages; the cells track and report major
scheduled battle events and movements to the 11th ACR, which provides the
contemporary operating environment force during rotations.

Whether supporting the NTC mission or units in deployment areas, the mili-
tary interpreter/translator branch does face some challenges. Reductions in forces
have the potential to affect the numbers of interpreter/translators in the Army.

With new conflicts come new challenges, both deployed and in garrison.
Nevertheless, the 09L branch and the Army will adapt and overcome – facing
the increasingly complex conflicts head on.
