NATO operates an Institute for Advanced Russian Studies (or some title
like that) at Hawkins Barracks, Oberammergau, Germany for NATO officers.
(or they did when I was there - 1982 - may not be in operation today.) 

Are you aware of the Foreign Area Officer program?  (Are you Army ROTC?)
After commissioning in your basic branch (Infantry, Armor, Finance) and
about 5 years into your career - you get a Secondary Skill assigned -
FAO is one of them.  This prepares officers for Military Attache' duties
in embassies.  You get extensive advanced schooling in your language and
graduate schooling in your 'country'.   

'Course after all that schooling - you'll probably be assigned as the
assistant G5 at Fort Riley, Kansas.  :-)
