Can I apply to National Guard positions on USAJobs if I'm in the Army Reserve?

Those positions require you to become part of the unit.

You can apply for any civilian job if you meet the qualifications. If accepted and the job requires membership in the Guard, you would have to get a release from the Reserve. I have transferred between Army Reserve and National Guard several times.

I would. Monday thru Friday, weekends, play army. You may have to make a phone all to see if there are conflicting interest

Yes, but you will be required to transfer to the National Guard.

Saw a lot of positives but beware, if you don't get promoted on the MIL side of it, you get fired from both.

These guys have pretty much got it, but I'll throw my comment in.
You would have to look at the job posting and see what it says. Almost all AGR jobs are attached to a position in the Company that you work for. A Dual Status Technician position tequires membership in the Guard of the listed state (every one I've ever seen), but a Non-Dual Status Technician does not require military membership at all. Some jobs are State positions (Military Authority or listed as a state job) and are also open to civilians. It really depends on what the listing says. It normally tells on the first or second page, but may direct you toward the end for descriptions of the qualifications. I love being in the Guard, but have never been in the Reserve, so I wouldn't put switching completely out of your mind. Just talk to a local Guard recruiter and get your answers about how it affects your benefits and opportunities.

Is it an AGR position? When you find out please post and let us know. Although I can't do either it would be interesting to know the outcome.

If it is a military technician job announcement, the job title should indicate if its for ANG/ARNG members only or under the heading of "Technician Vacancy Announcement " should state "National Guard Membership IS Required". You may see also in the announcement:
"This job announcement is for employment as an Insert State Here Army National Guard Technician; a Federal/ Excepted Civil Service position. This is a dual-status technician job whereby you are required to maintain active membership in a National Guard unit/wing and are required to wear the military uniform at the workplace."

Feel free to apply however you may have to switch components, It's a great opportunity in my opinion.

National Guard positions are title 32 which means that you must be a member of the NG. Army Reserve are title 10, meaning you must be a member of the reserves. if I was you I would look for a DAC (Department of the Army Civilian) position.

If you are trying to obtain a technician position that would require you to be in the Guard. If you are in the right field you can move up in rank. However, there are also AGR positions as well. If you get in the right field you could become a Warrant Officer.
