If your language training is scheduled by the DIA in preparation for a position with the Defense Attaché Service in a Defense Attaché Office (DAO) or Defense Liaison Office of an Embassy or Consulate (either as Attaché, Operations Coordinator, or Operations Intelligence NCO), you are a DAS student.

If your language training is scheduled by a service quota manager in preparation for any other type of position, even if you expect to be stationed in an Embassy or Consulate, you are not a DAS student.

If you are preparing for an assignment in the DAS, you will be scheduled for language training by the Joint Military Attaché School Training Management Office. Instructions on your DAS training schedule asks you to call DLI-Washington upon receipt of the schedule in order to obtain information from you about the setting up of your training. Please note that due to the many changes that occur in the DAS training program, DLI-Washington does not commit to arranging training unless contact has been established a couple of months before the language start date.
