Do you reenlist when you transfer from one National Guard state to another?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, typically when transferring from one National Guard state to another, individuals are required to reenlist in their new state. This is because each state's National Guard operates independently under the authority of the respective state's governor. Therefore, transferring to a new state would necessitate joining that state's National Guard and reenlisting under their jurisdiction.

Since 1636, the Guard has served America as both a wartime force and the first military responders in times of domestic crisis. Hundreds of times each year, the nation's Governors call upon their National Guard to respond to fires, floods, hurricanes, and a host of other natural disasters.

Which is better air force reserve or air National Guard?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Without getting too technical, the basic difference is that the Air Force Reserve is the reserve forces for the active Air Force, and the Air National Guard is specifically attached to one state. The governor of the respective state is the commander in chief for their guard. The same goes for the Army.

Both the Air Force Reserve and the Air National Guard ARE part of the Air Force. The reserve is federal while the guard is state. Both wear name tapes that state U.S. Air Force on their uniforms.

Why did women go to war?

Asked by Wiki User

In the most simplistic terms it was to relieve a man engaged in administrative or clerical work so that he could be posted to a
forward or more hostile environment. I believe that a broader
and more realistic answer is that many felt a genuine patrioctic
call to defend and support their countries efforts.
