4–17. Command Language Program standard operating procedures
a. All CLPMs will develop and publish a CLP SOP covering all aspects of the unit CLP and based upon higher
headquarters’ CLP SOP and guidance. The SOP will include information or guidance on language training require-
ments and procedures, linguist input to curriculum development and instruction, and all other information necessary for
program continuity. The CLP SOP will be an integral part of the unit SOP to ensure enforceability.
b. The CLP SOP will be part of the overall unit SOP. The SOP will be self-explanatory and specific in task
assignments. CLPMs will maintain a separate point-of-contact roster with the SOP to identify local and higher
headquarter CLPMs they can contact for assistance. Units will review the CLP SOP at least biannually and after all
published changes to higher-level guidance to ensure the unit SOP reflects the most current information.
