Has anyone found any written guidance about SSD 2 or DLC 2 counting as phase 1 of ALC?

I've been hearing varying information that the transition to DLC is using SSD/DLC as a replacement for the DL (phase 1) of ALC. I already have SSD 2 completed. I've been researching and haven't found anything really tangible in a regulation. I've only had verbal information stating DLC 2 counting, but nothing on SSD 2. I have highers saying phase 1 won't be necessary and am hoping to have eyes on the regulation that states it. Thanks in advance!

I’ve not heard anything to this effect regarding SSD II. I seem to recall seeing course reqs for ALC Phase I showing a requirement for completion of SSD II. However, this is old and quite possibly incorrect information. We can always hope though!

It's not in any regulation. Regulations take years to update and get approved. You'll find things like that in ALARACT, MILPER, and Army Directive messages.
SSD replaced common core phase 1 years ago.

DLC replaces SSD which is a requirement to attend a EPME it does not count as phase 1 for ALC

This is one of the medical ALC's thats broken up into 2 or 3 phases correct? ALC phase 1 to the majority of us was ALC Common Core, which was replaced by SSD 2 in 2014.

If you have your SSD done your good.. otherwise from my understanding is the new DLC is going to be apart of your overall GPA during NCOES schools.
