The primary purpose and mission priority at DLIFLC is to provide language training. The instruction and acquisition of a language at the DLIFLC is a rigorous, mentally demanding activity. >           >            b. DLIFLC mission:  DLIFLC provides DOD-wide culturally-based foreign language education, training, evaluation, and proficiency enhancement to advance the security of the Nation. >           >            c. 229th Military Intelligence Battalion at DLIFLC mission.  The 229th Military Intelligence Battalion (DLIFLC) provides the Army ready Soldier linguists.  To accomplish this mission, the 229th Military Intelligence Battalion (DLIFLC) executes the following key tasks:  Administratively and logistically support Soldiers; train Soldiers and units; develop leaders and promote teamwork; certify leaders and trainers to ensure training adheres to doctrinal fundamentals, TRADOC requirements, and all safety concerns; and set and maintain conditions that promote Soldier success in the DLIFLC’s culturally-based foreign language education and training. >           >            d.  The unique nature of training at DLIFLC and the length and pace of language training itself requires the 229th Military Intelligence Battalion to balance demands on Soldiers’ time for military training and focus on only the most essential and fundamental elements of military training.  The 229th Military Intelligence Battalion will minimize military training that duplicates IET training Soldiers undergo in BCT and AIT while conducting training within resource constraints that promotes Soldier confidence in the most fundamental military tasks. >           >                   (1)  Classroom instruction is conducted seven hours a day, five days a week.  Language training also includes two to four hours daily of homework and self and group study periods.  The course of instruction for a particular language determines the length of the course (26 to 63 weeks).  Regardless of course length, completion of language training at DLIFLC awards a Soldier a SQI, not an MOS.  Therefore, language training is not considered AIT. >           >                   (2)  The Commander, 229th MI Battalion will prioritize and implement military training with minimal impact to language training.  This military training may be conducted before or after school hours and during some weekends depending on the language training schedule. >
