3. Ensure that the following personnel subject to deployment on NATO operations, exercises or training are tested to ensure they meet the minimum English language skills as follows:a. Officers in command positions and all principal staff officers: SLP 2+2+2+2+.b. All other officers: SLP 2-2-2-2; andc. Appropriate NCOs, OR-5 and above likely to have frequent contact with personnel

from other nations: SLP 2-2-2-2.d. Enlisted personnel of all services planned to operate tactical communications, operate on NATO communications networks or who are members of tactical air control parties: SLP 2-2-1-1.
