4–16. Command Language Program linguist database
a. Command Language Program manager responsibilities. The CLPM is responsible for the maintenance of the
linguist skills database. Maintain the database for 100 percent of assigned language capable Soldiers, language
dependent Soldiers, and DA Civilians. The database will reflect the following elements for each assigned linguist.
(1) Basic demographic data, including duty assignment and primary occupational specialty and/or job title.
(2) Additional language training completed following DLIFLC graduation.
(3) Ongoing language training.
(4) Expiration term of service (ETS) and PCS dates.
(5) FLPB status.
(6) Administration dates and results of all DLPTs taken, including the version of the DLPT (DLPT IV or 5).
(7) Required DLPT recertification dates to prevent expiration of FLPB.
(8) ILTPs including language maintenance and improvement objectives driven by the requirements of the personnel,
manning tables, or authorizations.
b. Unit Command Language Program database. The database should match the individual linguist’s personnel
records on file at the servicing military personnel office or servicing Civilian personnel office. CLPMs will establish

procedures in the unit CLP SOP to ensure that the data remains current and accurate. CLPMs will maintain historical
data in the database as a point of reference for measuring changes in overall linguist proficiency from year to year and
for assessing the effectiveness of the CLP. The CLPM should maintain copies of any exceptions to policy or waivers
granted. The linguist database should also reflect all waivers and deployments. Units with no documented language
positions, but who have linguists trained at Government expense may incorporate this data into the command’s training
database.
c. Command Language Program files. Each unit’s CLP files will include all CLP related correspondence. The CLP
files will contain information reflecting DLPT testing, training resource lists, the CLP SOP, CLP funding and budget
information, arrival interview records, and CLP training records.
d. Command Language Program training records. Units will initiate a CLP training record for each linguist they
identify during in-processing, regardless of MOS or duty assignment. CLPMs will file all appropriate information
pertaining to these linguists in their training record. CLPMs will maintain copies of all DLPT results (DA Form 330),
records of language training, FLPB orders, and the ILTP. Commands will maintain the training record at the lowest
possible supervisory level (company or battalion CLPM). Duplicate copies of the record are not required at higher
levels.
e. Individual language training plans. Commanders will develop an ILTP for each linguist. The ILTP is tailored to
meet the needs of the individual linguist. The ILTP will assess language proficiency and determine training needs,
establish training goals, develop short and long range training plans, and reflect quarterly counseling. CLPMs should
closely monitor the ILTP to assess progress and recommend adjustments to training. Mentors and supervisors will
review ILTPs with their linguists at least quarterly. Language group leaders and unit language instructors will also
validate and review the training plan quarterly to ensure effectiveness and improvement. ILTPs will reflect progress in
all additional training performed. The ILTP’s are subject to inspection under the Organizational Inspection Program.
f. On-hand copy of Army Regulation 11–6. All CLPMs will have a digital copy of AR 11–6 on hand. All Army
publications are available online from the Army Publishing Directorate at http://www.apd.army.mil. CLPMs will
maintain an electronic link to all required publications identified in appendix A. Units with limited computer capability
will maintain a paper copy of the required publications listed in appendix A.
