Do you have to be in your reserve unit for a certain amount of time before switching units?

It will depend on the Commander. You can submit a request to transfer, but that doesn't mean they will sign approval for the transfer request.

Not that I now of, some units are more transfer friendly than other units. I knew a brigade commander whose philosophy was if you don't want to be here I don't want you here. I have seen a battalion commander who refused to send transfer papers up to brigade because it messed up his matrix. A few IG complaints and the brigade commander came knocking on his door.

Not exactly, but your contract may have membership stipulations.

Gaining commanders no longer need to sign 4651R for TPU transfers as of 2years ago. For promotions, need to stay min 1 year.
