Chameleon PatrolBaghdadAssociates provided the US Army 5/2 Stryker Brigade with Predictive Profiling and Field Intelligence Training as part of their Language Enabled Soldier Program. Parts of the training were conducted in Arabic.  The training provided soldiers with tools to identify suspicion indicators in high risk environments. Here is the case study for the LES program which includes Predictive Profiling training as presented by Col. Tunnell, Commander of the 5/2 Stryker Brigade:

Predictive Profiling becomes especially important to a soldier working in an environment that is not familiar to him. Predictive Profiling is much easier when one knows the norms in his surroundings, but when facing am unfamiliar culture, language and environment Profiling becomes a lot harder. This is exactly the situation a soldier facesbeing deployed in Afghanistan or Iraq. Predictive Profiling is as much a counter insurgency tool as it is counterterrorist or security methofology.
