Key Points

  • Congress would require the Army and Air Force to write rules letting certain National Guard officers move between active and inactive status.
  • If an officer fills an open spot in a federally recognized National Guard unit, the rules would allow a transfer from active status to inactive status.
  • The rules would also allow that officer to transfer back from inactive to active status later to fill another open unit position.
  • This is aimed at keeping units staffed and ready by making it simpler to shift officers where they’re needed.
  • It mainly affects Army National Guard and Air Force National Guard officers and the units that have officer vacancies.
