“We’re not going to have world peace until we have communication with the world, which won’t happen without languages.”
Dr. Ray Clifford
Former Chancellor, Defense Language Institute

Quality Linguists
For more than four decades, the 300th Military Intelligence Brigade (Linguist) has established itself as one of the nation’s premiere military linguist organizations.  The Brigade is headquartered in Draper, Utah, and has linguist teams located in National Guard units in Utah, California, Washington, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, and Louisiana.  These linguists have supported national intelligence requirements in over 40 different languages.

Worldwide Language Opportunities
Throughout the year, our linguist teams travel across the world in support of a variety of language missions that help improve the quality of life and promote freedom. These missions range from providing translation/interpretation support to humanitarian aid, U.S. Embassies, Peace Keeping Operations, and Nation Building exercises to supporting the Global War on Terrorism with quality linguists.  Through the use of technology, our linguists support several worldwide language requirements without ever leaving the State of Utah.

Learn a New Language
If you don’t speak a foreign language or want to learn an additional language, you can attend the prestigious Defense Language Institute (DLI) in beautiful Monterey, California.  Students attending DLI receive full tuition, books, housing, and a full-time salary during their 12 to 18 months of training.  Upon graduation, students can achieve an Associates Degree with credits transferring to most colleges and universities.
