Per refs A and C, Marines with a FAO or FAS AMOS are required to maintain current minimum Defense Language Proficiency Test (DLPT) scores of 2/2/1+ (FAO) or 1+/1+/1+ (FAS) (Reading/Listening/Speaking). Failure to maintain minimum scores will result in administrative withdrawal of the FAO or FAS AMOS. 6.

Marines who do not have a current T-5 Investigation will submit a request through their Special Security Office immediately. This MARADMIN serves as authority to initiate a T-5 Investigation. 7.
