Appendix E
Command Language Program
E–1. Introduction
a. The three necessary ingredients for a successful CLP are:
(1) Command interest and support.
(2) A sound program with detailed objectives and appropriate resources.
(3) Periodic evaluations to determine progress toward these objectives.
b. The key to success is the commander. The commander must recognize that language is as important to the unit’s
success as weapons qualifications, physical training, vehicle maintenance, or any other Soldier qualification or training
requirement. The CLP should be an integral part of the unit training schedule.
c. There is no book solution. Creative thought and innovative methods bring the best results.
