their language skills. The NLSC identifies U.S. citizens who can 
provide high levels of proficiency in foreign languages and cultural 
expertise critical to national security for short-term temporary 
assignments when other resources are not available. The NLSC will fill 
gaps between requirements of DoD or other departments or agencies of 
the United States and available language skills where government 
employees are required or desired. The NLSC will reach out to U.S. 
citizens (age 18 or over) who can read, listen, speak, and write in 
English and read, listen, write and speak at least one other specified 
language, generally at or above skill level 3 as described by the 
proficiency guidelines of the Federal Interagency Language Roundtable 
(ILR). The DoD and the Intelligence Community agencies use these 
guidelines as the basis for language skill requirements identification, 
position descriptions, readiness indices and language bonus pay 
systems. Therefore, the ILR proficiency guidelines represent a common 
metric used by U.S. Government agencies as a basis for policy, planning 
and human capital decisions in operational, mission critical areas 
where language is required.
