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.

DLIFLC phases of training
>
> IET
Soldiers arriving at DLIFLC have completed Phases I through III at BCT, and complete Phases IV and V at
DLIFLC. The progressive phase criteria and the restrictions/limitations for Soldiers in Phases IV and V are
determined by the battalion commander. Phase V+ begins at the completion of Phase V at the DLIFLC and continues
until arrival at follow-on training or permanent duty station.

>
a. Phase V+ requirements are:
>
(1) Pass a record APFT within 30 days of graduation at 60% for age and gender.
>
>
(2) Completion of selected WTBDs approved by Commander, 229th Military Intelligence Battalion.
>
>
b. Phase V+ Soldiers are afforded nearly all the same privileges and restrictions as permanent party Soldiers.
>
>
c. Phase V+ Soldiers in language training at DLIFLC may reside in billeting that DLIFLC and Presidio of Monterey
operate in accordance with requirements for U.S. Army permanent party Soldiers. DLIFLC and the Presidio of
Monterey, in conjunction with the 229th Military Intelligence Battalion, will ensure adequate and safe mitigation
procedures remain in effect for Soldiers for whom billeting that meets IET billeting requirements is unavailable. The
Commandant, DLIFLC, will certify the appropriateness of billeting requirements for the specific training requirement
at DLIFLC.
