How much annual training is there?

For my guard training, There are 3 different periods of time designated to 2 week training. I thought I only had to go to one. Please help me understand this. They are labeled as such: ANNUAL TRAINING (FRU), ANNUAL TRAINING (7 PAX), and DIAMOND SABER 18 (SELPERS).

Each person is only required to do annual training once a year. If your unit is in the 6 month window to mobilize, it will be 3 weeks instead of 2.

Your best course of action would be to contact your 1st line or the full-time training NCO at your unit to find out which of those periods you need to be concerned about.

What this looks like is the unit AT is the first one. The second one, 7 individuals have been identified to participate. The third one is going to be for select personnel. But I'm not in your unit or in your state so I could be wrong. Again, the best thing to do would be to contact your chain of command or your unit's training NCO for clarification.
