I was just reading on Afghanistan, and the local-hired "terps" (interpreters) were mentioned quite often, usually in favorable contrast to the Afghan Army soldiers. I suspect a lot of Twilight War American (and other) units would pick up local residents as interpreters, and those would become very embedded in the unit.
