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.
