Can a junior Captain register and attend ILE?

Is it possible to register for ILE (I think it would only be DL) as a Jr. Captain? I was promoted July 2023 and want to be as strong of a candidate as possible to pick up when the time comes. I'm AMEDD, so I know it will be at the zone and not below. I am finishing up Company Command (already past my 2-year mark, but I am able to do a warm hand-off with the incoming Commander). Once complete in early 2025 I will pick up some additional duty schools but I also want to get started on ILE.

Don't you need your Captain's Career Course completed first? You do for Non-medical.
We will have to ask.

No. TRADOC will only allow Captains if they've been selected for promotion and have finished their CCC (AR 350-1*, 3-39b).

I did know a USAR Captain that completed CGSOC before he was promotable, but that was due to his being a dual-status DA Civilian and attended in his DAC role.
