'Campaign' is designed to meet the English language needs of military personnel engaged in all operations, including peacekeeping, humanitarian assistance and training exercises. 'Campaign' combines the rigorous language analysis of a good English for Specific Purposes course with the teachability of a good General English course. It deals with real issues that concern servicemen and women. Units range from 'How tanks fight' to 'Operation orders' to 'Aircraft carriers'. There are topics and texts from a variety of international military contexts, including the US, the UK, NATO and the UN. Throughout, learning of key specialised military lexis goes hand in hand with the development of general language competence through systematic skills practice and a carefully planned grammar syllabus.

Campaign Book 1 is the first of a new series specifically developed for members of the armed forces who need to learn English for international cooperation. Whilst it is primarily designed for land forces, it contains relevant and functional material applicable to other military personnel. The topics are drawn from a variety of international military contexts, including the US, the UK, NATO and the UN. The entire text has been independently vetted by officers from the American, British, French and Spanish armies, all of whom have extensive experience of international operations.
