Promotions and Reductions
Officer promotions and reductions are governed by a combination of federal regulations and National Guard-specific policies. The primary regulations include AR 135-155 and NGR 600-100
Conditional Release
Formal authorization that allows a service member to process for enlistment, appointment, or transfer into another military component or service (e.g., Active Duty Army, U.S. Army Reserve, another branch like Air Force, Navy, etc.) while still fulfilling certain obligations to their current component until the transfer is complete
Inactive Ready Reserve
Sometimes informally or historically referred to as the Inactive Ready Reserve, is a category within the Ready Reserve of the U.S. Armed Forces. For the Army (including former Active Army, Army Reserve, and Army National Guard members transitioning out), it serves as a manpower pool of trained Soldiers who are not assigned to a drilling unit but remain available for potential mobilization
