Opinion document: An interpreter in Afghanistan: Beyond the linguistic translation

The interpreter’s role during times of conflict and danger is fundamental for achieving operational advantage, not only in isolated situations but also at all levels of the campaign. His work is relevant in all levels of leadership and management, and in all aspects and areas of human activity, not just military activity (Comprehensive Approach). On numerous occasions, the author of this article accompanied ISAF troops and, during certain periods of the operation, Spanish troops in Qala-i-Naw, serving as their interpreter in the most diverse situations.
