Service Longevity for Army Reserve Active Guard Reserve (AGR) Officers

Abstract

Current policy dictates that reserve officers in the Active Guard Reserve (AGR) program are released from active duty after 20 years of active federal service (AFS). This is often many years prior to their Mandatory Retirement Date (MRD). The Secretary of Defense views the forced retirement of officers at MRD as a waste of resources. The Assistant Secretary of the Army, Manpower & Reserve Affairs, ASA(M&RA) has approved interim policy changes for retaining officers beyond 20 years through a board process. However, there is a need to develop a predictable systematic process for life cycle management of AGR officers up to their MRD. The purpose of this paper is to propose policies to effectively retain AGR officers up to their MRD. (2 tables, 27 refs.)
