Is it required.... No. Though our job is to help the soldiers in the unit.

The losing COC will facilitate the clearing and release. I&#39;m not a admin person, but this is how individual augmentees are procured. Response by 1SG Al Brown made Dec 2 at 2016 8:50 PM 2016-12-02T20:50:35-05:00 2016-12-02T20:50:35-05:00 SPC Erich Guenther 2128979 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>If the unit your in is overstrength, then I would say YES and that has been the business practice of some Army National Guard unit leadership as well as assisting the younger troops that just arrived from AIT in selecting a MOS to reclass to. If they are not overstrength then I would say NO and your on your own. If the unit is changing it&#39;s makeup to a new MOS and your old MOS is becomming obsolete then again I would say NO and finding a new unit is your issue if you want to hold onto the old MOS. So it depends.<br /><br />The only case I can think of which I would say YES is the ubiquitous case of the effed up National Guard Unit Manning Roster (UMR) and no fault of the troop they were accidently sent to the wrong AIT training.......which happened to my Nephew, BTW........and he had to reclass four months after graduating Infantry OSUT and had to repeat AIT for a new MOS. If it was me I would have been pissed but he handled it professionally. His Infantry unit CoC helped him with the MOS selection as well as unit transfer.

I&#39;ve seen places basically check out on a Soldier that doesn&#39;t want to stay in its ranks, and that&#39;s the wrong answer. It would go a long way if more units helped Soldiers with transfers and moves like this. Is the CoC directly obligated? No. But it does go to the welfare of the Soldier, so I&#39;d always take that on.
