Living with Two Full-Time Manning Programs in the Air National Guard

Abstract

The Air National Guard (ANG) utilizes a cadre of full time personnel to provide its administration, training, and ongoing operational needs. This cadre, drawn from the ANG's traditional weekender personnel, is called the Full Time Support (FTS) system. FTS personnel are under one of two programs--Military Technician (MT) and Military Duty (MD). The older, more dominant MT program is federal civil service, and the newer MD program is military active duty. With entirely different compensation, benefit and work rule packages, the two programs are indiscriminately intermixed at most ANG installations. This paper describes the dual personnel system and discusses its potential for problems from the base-level point of view. Recommendations are made to individual personnel and commanders as to how to best live with the system, with suggestions to the program managers as to how the system could be made more palatable to the ANG at base level.
