They send emails with a summary of all the personal messages as well as links to their website where you can search old postings. I never looked into it when I was active duty and went to ILE but I do receive emails from Reserve Branch now with a list of Foreign ILE offerings. Some require language proficiency, others do not.<br /><br />If I remember correctly, speaking French would open doors.<br /><br />Best of luckResponse by LTC Private RallyPoint Member made Oct 11 at 2021 2:21 PM2021-10-11T14:21:17-04:002021-10-11T14:21:17-04:00LTC Jason Mackay7318086<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The list was released with the board instructions for O4 promotionsResponse by LTC Jason Mackay made Oct 12 at 2021 10:37 PM2021-10-12T22:37:18-04:002021-10-12T22:37:18-04:00LTC Jerry Gordon7375784<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Not sure.

Also heard about similar enrollments in ILE schools in Egypt and Morocco (have no details).<br /><br />All attendees were selected and placed in those overseas ILE sources by the respective Officer Personnel Managers at USAHRC (aka MILPERCEN, when located earlier in Virginia some years back).<br />Glad to advise and assist as requested. Have a collection of open-source materials which would help prepare such selectee s for ILE courses in Arabic-prevalent host countries in the CENTCOM AOR and likewise those in Turkey.
