HEIDELBERG, Germany -- U.S. Army Europe officials have announced that all
USAREUR Soldiers are required to take an online survey by January 15 to assess their
language capabilities.
USAREUR civilian employees are being encouraged to take the survey as well.
According to an Army Human Resources Command release, the one-time selfassessment
of foreign language skills is part of a DoD initiative to improve foreign
language expertise and get an accurate measurement of the language capabilities of DoD
personnel.
The survey is designed "to close the data gap between traditional means of recording
language capabilities and expertise acquired by other than formal Army/Department of
Defense training or testing," states the release.
The survey consists of a handful of basic questions about respondents' language fluency.
Officials stressed that completing it does not provide a language certification or qualify
respondents for foreign language pay.
There are several ways the survey can be found. A link is available for Soldiers and
civilians on the USAREUR home page at www.hqusareur.army.mil.
Alternately, there are separate addresses for Soldiers and civilians. Soldier can go to
https://perscomnd04.army.mil/LangSurv.nsf/LangSurvCentOpen?OpenForm . Civilians
can access the survey via the "employee data" tab on their "My Biz" accounts at Army
Civilian Personnel Online at www.cpol.army.mil.
