“Winning this award validates the effectiveness of Carney’s instruction and use of media in preparing our armed forces for ever-increasing readiness requirements.” said John Carney, President of the Alexandria-based knowledge management firm.

In this course, learners hear authentic voice transmissions in conjunction with animations of key situations underlying the use of brevity words.
