D-1. 229th MI BN, DLIFLC training priorities
a. The 229th MI BN conducts operations to enable the development of proficient and culturally competent Soldier-linguists during their tour of duty at DLIFLC. Completion of language education at DLIFLC awards Soldiers a Skill Qualification Identifier (SQI), not a Military Occupational Specialty (MOS).
b. The 229th MI BN Commander will prioritize military training to support Soldier and Family readiness, language education, and leader development. The 229th MI BN will minimize military training that duplicates the training IET Soldiers receive during BCT and AIT.
D-2. 229th MI BN, DLIFLC phases of training
-
The 229th MI BDE/BN Commander determines the progressive phase criteria for Soldiers in Phases IV, V, and V+ IAW TR 350-6, chapter 4.
b. The MOS 35P IET Soldiers complete Phases I through III at BCT, and complete Phases IV through V+ at DLIFLC. Phase V+ begins at the completion of Phase V and continues until arrival at follow-on training or a permanent duty station. Aspects of the phase process are accelerated at DLIFLC due to the specific requirements of language education not encountered at AIT or OSUT sites.
c. Phase IV and V. During these phases, IET Soldiers receive increased supervision from AIT platoon sergeants. These phases are characterized by the reinforcement of personal responsibility, accountability, common skills, values, and traditions taught in BCT. The IET Soldiers also receive introductory instructions on MOS tasks.
d. Phase V+ begins at the completion of Phase V for 35P Soldiers and upon arrival at DLIFLC for MOS 35M Soldiers who have not been to their first duty station. This phase focuses on language education and Army resilience tasks in preparation for transitioning Soldiers to the operational force. Phase V+ Soldiers are afforded most of the privileges and restrictions as permanent party Soldiers.
e. Only Commanders, First Sergeants, AIT Platoon Sergeants, and US Army military instructors Cadre Training Course (CTC) qualified (or equivalent) Trainers are authorized and expected to impose corrective action / training on IET Soldiers. Other instructors must request corrective action through the Soldier’s chain of command after conducting counseling with DLIFLC Form 864.
D-3. DLIFLC Phase IV and V restrictions and privileges.
a. Phase IV and V Soldier restrictions and privileges are IAW TR 350-6, Chapter 4.
b. Married Phase IV Soldiers on orders authorizing accompanied assignment to DLIFLC may settle their families into housing prior to reaching Phase V. The Soldier will reside in the barracks until all Phase IV requirements are met and the Soldier graduates to Phase V.
c. Phase V Soldiers may ride in or drive POVs and rental cars.
d. No overnight passes allowed unless approved by the Commandant.
e. The use of alcohol products are prohibited. An exception to policy (ETP) may be requested by the commandant or Brigade Commander, but must be staffed through the first 2-Star General Officer (or equivalent) in the chain of command to CIMT for approval. The ETP request must include a risk mitigation plan. No alcohol or tobacco products will be used around phase IV Soldiers.
D-4. DLIFLC Phase V+ restrictions and privileges.
a. At DLIFLC Phase V+ extends up to 70+ weeks of service for students on a normal course trajectory.
b. Phase V+ Soldiers will be allowed controlled, but extended, off post pass privileges. The 229th MI BN Commander will establish a leave and pass policy defining travel limits for day passes and single day travel limits for Soldiers traveling by POV while on pass or official leave outside the Monterey Peninsula area. The 229th MI BN Commander may authorize ordinary leave. Only the Commandant (06 or higher) can authorize overnight passes during non-duty days (cannot be delegated lower). All passes will end no later than eight (8) hours prior to the next training day
c. Soldiers are required to sleep in the APFU shorts and shirt unless commander establishes a policy approving alternate attire.
D-5. Buddy system requirement
a. DLIFLC’s specialized education environment combined with limited and geographically dispersed support resources requires deviation from the battle buddy system for attendance at professional/medical services, religious services, and certain academic and testing situations. The full implementation of the battle buddy system constrains IET Soldiers’ abilities to participate in religious services and programs because of DLIFLC’s reliance on community providers for low density faiths and practices. DLIFLC will use ad hoc assignments of battle buddies for periods when the assigned battle buddies are impractical such as meeting with Medical, Dental, SARC and Unit Victim Advocates (UVAs) for Sexual Harassment and Assault reporting, Behavioral Health Services (BHS), ASAP, and Chaplains for counseling, religious services and religious education programs..
b. Since DLIFLC language classes are multi-service and all ranks, it is possible that an IET Soldier may be the only Soldier assigned to a class. Under those conditions, the Soldier may move between his/her company area, language school, dining facilities, and other routine duty locations during class hours with an ad hoc battle buddy. Soldiers will move with classmates of equivalent career status from sister services to the extent feasible.
c. All Soldiers are required to have a battle buddy during duty and after duty hours, Phase V and V+ Soldiers not residing in the barracks do not require a battle buddy for their commute to and from domicile and duty. Married, accompanied Phase V and V+ Soldiers may have their spouse serve as their battle buddy during medical, dental appointments or family issues during the duty day.
D-6. 229th MI BN, DLIFLC IET fundraising and participation in unit events
a. IET Soldiers in phase V+ status may participate in installation fundraising events and support Morale Welfare and Recreation (MWR) sponsored activities.
b. IET Soldiers who participate in unit/installation fundraising or MWR events must benefit on the same basis as permanent-party Soldiers.
c. The 229th MI BN Commander will ensure that IET Soldiers are not disadvantaged in any manner as a result of installation fundraising and morale activities.
D-7. Separate and secure environment
a. The 229th MI BN Commander will employ control measures and policies to establish a safe and secure environment to meet the intent of TRADOC Regulation 350-6 and in consideration of the available barracks structures on the Presidio of Monterey. If requirements outlined in this regulation cannot be met, an exception to policy will be submitted through the first 2-Star (or equivalent) to the CG CIMT with a mitigation plan and timeline to meet the requirements.
b. CTC (or equivalent) trained Cadre NCO at the rank of SSG or above will execute the 229th MI BN Staff Duty. The NCO will serve as the decision making authority for all issues in the Battalion in the absence of the Battalion Commander. Charge of Quarters (CQ) will be executed by one student permanent party cadre NCO and two same gender student Soldiers on duty as access control guards. (No more than 1-2 hour shifts for access control guards or CQ runners).
