There are tens of thousands (I remember reading 30,000) of non-citizen immigrants currently in the armed services and many are in Iraq, and they do have bilingual units for those who do not speak English. If you join the military, they promise you citizenship. Also, there are plenty of Puerto Ricans in the military and they are put in spanish speaking units as well.

I can't speak for the army but for the Air Force there is a requirement that unless you have a high school diploma you can not enlist in the Air Force. There is a requirement that they speak English as there are no special considerations for non-english speaking AF members. They must speak English because the basic & technical training schools will not include translators. I've been TDY to the Air National Guard unit in Puerto Rico twice and every member of that unit speaks English. It's a requirement for the Air Force & Air National Guard.
