Can you transfer Reserve units if you've moved to a different state to take a better civilian job?

Find a new unit close to where you live and work and go to their Unit Administrator or Admin NCO and ask them to help you fill out a DA Form 4651-R. They will send it thru the proper channels to get you Orders for the new unit. Generally, if your old unit is more than fifty miles away from your new residence they should process the order with no problem.

CPT Wright. I am having difficulties locating a unit to transfer to. How do I go about this? Google does not have accurate numbers to contact.

I would call an Army Recruiting office in that city and ask to talk to a USAR Recruiter. They usually have good numbers and contacts for the local units and are willing to help another soldier out. Best of luck!

Yes, you may, SPC (Join to see). In fact, transferring from one USAR unit to another is relatively easy. Start with your current unit chain of command.
I personally transferred from USAR units in Cincinnati, to New Orleans, to Oklahoma City, and finally to Nashville. All were for civilian employment, and I never even missed a training assembly.

Easily if your not flagged. A 4651 and 2 counseling statements are all it takes. Once you have found a unit just work with your gaining and losing HR NCOs or S1 sections to coordinate the signatures on the 4651 and get the packet pushed up. You can also request to RST with the new unit while the paperwork goes thru to avoid missing BA or having to travel an excessive distance.
