ENLISTMENT OF MOBILIZED UNITED STATES
ARMY RESERVE (USAR) OR ARMY NATIONAL GUARD OF THE UNITED STATES (ARNGUS)
SOLDIERS INTO THE REGULAR ARMY
...Issued:
[06/16/2005]...
1. REFERENCES:
a. United States Code, Title X, Section 12302
b. HQDA (SAMR-HR) Memorandum Subject:
Enlistment of Mobilized United States Army Reserve (USAR) or Army National
Guard of the United States (ARNGUS) SOLDIERS into the Regular Army, dated
2 Jun 05.
2. PURPOSE: The Acting Assistant Secretary of the
Army (Manpower and Reserve Affairs) has approved a policy to allow the
enlistment of mobilized USAR and ARNGUS SOLDIERS in the Regular Army. The
seamless transfer of Reserve Component SOLDIERS to the Regular Army is
consistent with the Continuum of Service concept.
3. The following procedural guidance is provided:
a. Reserve Component Soldiers, with less than
18 years of service, may apply to transfer from the RC to Regular Army anytime
within six months of their projected demobilization or release from active duty
date, to include at the demobilization station. Additionally, SOLDIERS who have
out processed from the demobilization site but are granted leave enroute to
their parent unit or who are on terminal leave may also apply for enlistment in
the Regular Army under this policy prior to the end date of their leave, as they
have not been released from active duty.
b. SOLDIERS who apply at the mobilization
station will be placed on ADSW-AC orders (formerly TTAD) extending them on
active duty until the application is processed.
c. If a RC SOLDIER is the recipient of an
enlistment/reenlistment incentive, and is in the process of fulfilling the
service obligation required by the incentive, he or she will be notified that
the unearned incentives may be subject to statutory recoupment on a pro-rata
basis upon enlistment into the Regular Army.
d. Grade determination is not required for
mobilized Reserve Component SOLDIERS. These SOLDIERS will enlist into the
Regular Army at their current rank.
e. If the applicant’s current MOS is
determined by the U.S. Army Human Resources Command to be “over strength” in the
Regular Army, the SOLDIER will be given the opportunity to reclassify into an
“under strength” or “critical” MOS at the time of transfer. The SOLDIER will be
notified of this prior to his or her transfer into the Regular Army.
4. SOLDIERS will complete DD Form 368 to request
release from their current component to apply for enlistment into the Regular
Army. The DD Form 368 may be handwritten as long as it is legible and must be
signed by the soldier and the Commander. Completion of blocks 4a through 4d is
not required. Section II – Approval/Disapproval (blocks 5a through 5f) will be
completed by the SOLDIER’S current commander of the mobilized unit.
5. Submit application to Commander AHRC, ATTN:
AHRC-PDZ-RC, Room 3N29, 200 Stovall Street, Alexandria, VA 22332 or Email: RCAC@hoffman.army.mil
.
6. If the application is favorably considered, the
SOLDIER will be issued assignment instructions and the SOLDIER’S
Retention/Reenlistment NCO will be notified in order to execute enlistment
contract.
7. Once a Soldier enlists in the Regular Army, the
Soldier will remain with his/her current deployed unit until it redeploys to the
demobilization station, then he/she will PCS to new duty station.
8. Points of contacts are SSG Johnson/SGM Clifton
at (703) 325-4008/9098 or DSN 221-4008/9098.
