More than 50 language courses are offered to meet Army requirements for officer linguists. The majority of these courses are longer than 20 weeks, requiring the officer to PCS to the Defense Language Institute in Monterey, California, for attendance. Officers are language trained only if being assigned to a language coded posi­tion. Officers trained at Government expense test in that language every 2 years and are expected to maintain their proficiency.
