4–7. Selection for Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center training
a. General. The selection of AA personnel for language training is governed by current and projected requirements
by MOS and branch, grade, and language. DLIFLC training requirements are filled, as much as possible, with
volunteers. When volunteers are not available, the Commander, AHRC, makes selections for school attendance. The
Commander, AHRC (AHRC–EPL–M), may waive standards for AA enlisted personnel, other than the provisions of
paragraph 4–6h and the DLAB requirement, which is reserved to the DCS, G–2 (DAMI–PIO), to meet Army readiness
requirements.
b. Service obligation. Volunteers approved for language training at Government expense will incur a service
obligation.
(1) Officers and warrant officers. Officers and warrant officers incur consecutive active duty service obligations
(ADSOs) computed in accordance with AR 350–100. The first ADSO runs through the course completion date, or
through the date on which the consecutively scheduled education is to be completed, whichever is later. An additional
ADSO also is incurred equaling three times the length of schooling, computed in days, but not more than 6 years. The
additional ADSO begins the day the language course ends, or the date on which consecutively scheduled education is
completed, whichever is later. If the officer is terminated from the course on an earlier date, the ADSO and the
additional ADSO still apply. The ADSO for language training does not apply to officers and warrant officers who were
involuntarily ordered to language training.
(2) Enlisted personnel.
(a) Enlisted personnel incur service remaining requirements computed from when the school course ends, in
accordance with AR 614–200. Personnel selected for language training for a special program must meet the ADSO of
that program.
(b) Applicants who are qualified for language training but who do not have enough time remaining in the service
must either extend or reenlist (see AR 601–280). Extensions or reenlistments must take place prior to departing the
current duty station or the individual will be deleted from assignment to the DLIFLC.
(c) Selection of RC Soldiers to attend DLIFLC is limited to training Soldiers to fill specific positions with language
requirements.
