Language Training Center The Georgia National Guard Language Training Center (LTC) opened its doors in June 2010 at the Clay National Guard Center to provide the resources necessary for military intelligence linguists to hone their language skills. This cost-effective facility boasts four large classrooms, a state-of-the art testing center, and a language library. Class sizes are limited to eight students to both ensure quality of training and to comply with the Defense Language Institutes guidelines. As part of a national partnership with the Defense Language Institute, the Georgia LTCs primary mission is to give refresher courses to Guardsmen from all over the country who have already learned a foreign language as part of their military careers. These courses enhance their language proficiency and add a degree of cultural awareness. The Georgia LTC expanded its mission last year to assist premobilization activities for deploying units by providing Language and Cultural Awareness training to deploying Soldiers. So far, over 300 Soldiers have received Language and Cultural training at the Georgia LTC in languages ranging from Pashto to Albanian. The new lab serves as a unique asset to the region, and the nation as a whole, as it is the only National Guard Language Training Center on the East Coast and the first of its kind for the National Guard.
