If you’re nearing the end of a contract with the NG, can you switch over to Active Duty or Reserves and maintain your rank?

I’m curious how AD and Reserves consider rank, especially for Officers. I’d you leave the NG as say, a Captain, can you walk on as a Captain in the AD or Reserves?

Officers have different rules that based on your commission source require federal recognition. For enlisted, your rank generally transfers, and the specific rules are listed in AR 600-20 under enlisted date of rank.

The federal recognition issue is for transferring from Guard to Active. Reserve officers are already federally recognized, because we are already federal troops.

I cant speak for AD but you can transfer to the USAR at any point without losing rank. Feel free to contact me for more info

Yes
*certain terms and conditions apply
Reserve to guard and back, yes
Guard or reserve to active....
The regular army has to be short your MOS and rank, they post the call to active duty areas. You can game the system a little by switching career fields to one thats short to apply though.
