America’s Voice Initiative within the State Department to rapidly recruit and train Americans who are fluent speakers of local languages (Arabic, Bahasa Melayu, Farsi, Urdu, and Turkish) with public diplomacy skills.

Many Americans who want to serve are not aware of service opportunities that fit their interests or schedules, aren't sure how to distinguish among various opportunities and don't know how to sign up. Technology can help. Existing sites like USAFreedomCorps.gov and VolunteerMatch.org

make service opportunities available for people who may prefer to work out of their homes or at unusual hours.

Social Investment Fund Network. This will be a government-supported nonprofit corporation, similar to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, that will use federal seed money to leverage private sector funding to improve local innovation, test the impact of new ideas and expand successful programs to scale. The fund will operate through a network of funds that will be rooted in the private sector at the community level, with local decision-making informed by a shared network of best practices.

ENABLE MORE AMERICANS TO SERVE IN THE MILITARY Rebuild the Military for 21st-Century Tasks: As we rebuild our armed forces, we must meet the full spectrumneeds of the new century, not simply recreate the military of the Cold War era. In particular, we must focus on strengthening the ground force units and skills that military officers have dubbed “High Demand/Low Density.” The U.S. military must: • Build up our special operations forces, civil affairs, information operations, engineers, foreign area officers, and other units and capabilities that remain in chronic short supply.
• Invest in foreign language training, cultural awareness, and human intelligence and other needed counterinsurgency and stabilization skill sets. • Create a specialized military advisors corps, which will enable us to better build up local allies’ capacities to take on mutual threats.
