About Us
About UFMCS
UFMCS brings a unique, tailored approach to providing an education focused on decision support. The core of our curriculum is based on self-awareness, groupthink mitigation, critical thinking, and fostering cultural empathy. Our premise is that people and organizations court failure in predictable ways, and that they do so by degrees, almost imperceptible, and that they do so according to their mindset, biases, and experience, which are formed in large part by culture and context. Our education involves more than Socratic discussion and brainstorming. We believe that good decision processes are essential to good outcomes. To that end, our curriculum is rich in divergent processes, red team tools, and liberating structures, all aimed at decision support. We borrow techniques, methods, frameworks, and best practices from several sources and disciplines to create an education and practical application method that we find to be the best safeguard against individual and organizational tendencies toward biases, errors in cognition, and groupthink. Our approach has proven effective in units and organizations from brigades to the Joint Staff.
Red Teaming Defined
Red Teaming is a function executed by trained, educated, and practiced team members that provides commanders an independent capability to fully explore alternatives in plans, operations, concepts, organizations, and capabilities in the context of the operational environment and from the perspectives of our partners, adversaries, and others.

Our Mission
The mission of the University of Foreign Military and Cultural Studies (UFMCS) is to educate and train red team leaders and members who then provide commanders an independent capability to fully explore alternatives in plans, operations, concepts, organizations and capabilities in the context of the operational environment (OE) and from the perspectives of partners, adversaries and others. Additionally, UFMCS serves as the Army proponent for DOTML-PF associated with Red Teaming and serves as a repository of tools and best practices for Red Teaming across DoD. UFMCS also provides tailored short courses on critical thinking, cultural empathy, groupthink mitigation, and red team tools as required for Army and JIIM customers.
