Step-by-step explanation:
The main goal of the Utilization and Training Workshop (U&TW) is not specifically listed in the provided context. Instead, the passage talks about the Wildlife Conservation Society's (WCS) effort in raising awareness about illegal wildlife trade among US military personnel.
WCS is developing various educational materials such as pocket cards and playing cards to communicate information about wildlife, wildlife products, and legal concerns related to wildlife trade in Iraq and Afghanistan.
These materials are aimed to be incorporated into military-run environmental training sessions like officer training, pre-departure briefings, and in-theater briefings.
Through this initiative, WCS aims to address the lack of awareness regarding the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), as indicated by the survey where only a small percentage of soldiers were aware of CITES, while a notable amount engaged in or witnessed the purchase of wildlife products.
