  MANAGING AN INTERPRETER PROGRAM
  11-30. Units requiring interpretation support need to identify an individual
  or individuals to manage the interpreter program. In most units, this will be
  someone in the G3/S3 section. Division and Corps-level units will have a
  language manager. In MI units whose specific function is HUMINT
  collection, it will normally be a senior Warrant Officer within that unit. The
  functions of the interpreter program manager include but are not limited
  to—
  • Consolidating and prioritizing interpreter requirements.
  • Coordinating with G2 or INSCOM to contract for qualified
  interpreters.
  • Coordinating with the G1/S1 to identify personnel in the unit with
  language skills who can be used as interpreters.
  • Coordinating with the G1/S1 and G5 to obtain qualified local-hire
  interpreters.
  • Coordinating with G2/S2 for clearances.
  • Coordinating with the G3/S3 to establish training for both the
  interpreters and those that will be using interpreters.
  • Coordinating with the G3/S3 for language testing of the interpreters in
  both English and the target language as required.
  • Coordinating with the G1/S1 and G4/S4 to ensure that all
  administrative and logistical requirements for the interpreters are
  met.
  • Establishing and maintaining the administrative, operational, and
  evaluation files on the interpreters.
  • Assigning or recommending the assignment of interpreters to
  operational missions based on their specific capabilities.
