More and more, in these modern times, people from different parts of the globe are required to work together in order to keep the peace or repair what mankind or nature has done to our world. To work together efficiently, one common language has been found and that language is English or more specifically Military English. Military English permits the "interoperability" of the multinational forces involved in NATO, EU and UN peace support operations. It allows interaction between non-governmental agencies in conflict and post-conflict situations by enabling military and other security forces to communicate efficiently and accurately during humanitarian crisis'. It is a tool for promoting democratic values and respect for human rights and also, is a tool for international career advancement.
