Each of the four military Services—Army, Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps—and other U.S. government sponsoring agencies select the individuals for resident foreign language education in preparation for a specific duty assignment. More than 200,000 students, from recruits just out of basic training to senior officers, have graduated from the DLIFLC since 1941. There are approximately 3,000 students in the Resident Educational Programs at the Presidio of Monterey campus at any given time.
