The fact that multinational command structures are deadly in need of robust civil-military relations and interagency, intergovernmental organization, and nongovernmental organization coordination has led to the rise of English as a Global Lingua Franca. Similarly, mastering English language is a sine qua non for the global citizens of the new era since they are supposed to operate as part of joint organizational structures coordinating air, land, maritime, space, and special operations.

This paper will also handle the cultural aspects of language teaching to the global citizens in uniforms and offer some implications for language teachers
