NGB 22 and "as a Reserve of" RFI

Question

I am in charge of creating NGB 22s and am working on a cheat sheet to identify when "and as a Reserve of the Army" needs to be filled in vs "and as a Reserve of the N/A".  Does anyone have a tool they use that delineates this based on the type of discharge?  I have read over the instructions in Appendix F and my understanding is vague.

The header is "Report of Separation and Record of Service in the ___________ (Select Army or Air Force) National Guard of __________ (state) and as a Reserve of the (Army or N/A, this is different for the Air Guard"


Answer 1

Not an expert on this, but wouldn't the two options be Reserve of the Army and Reserve of the Air Force, since the National Guard includes both?

 

Answer 2

It is good you are looking at NGR 600-200 Appendix F. Basically, you choose "Reserve of the N/A" when the Soldier is being transferred to the Army Reserve, and you choose "Reserve of the Army" when they are being separated from both the State and their Reserve of the Army status. Any Soldier who does not have their Reserve of the Army status removed, becomes a member of the USAR upon discharge from their State. It is up to you and your office to determine what is being removed and who is required to continue service in the USAR.

 

Answer 3

If the member is being discharged to civil life (not being transferred to the USAR for completion of statutory or contractual obligations), or is enlisting in Regular Service,  then enter "Army". 

[Yes, it could be clearer.]
