Proposal Statement
Amendment to NGR 635-102 and AR 135-178 Chapter 16 to Exempt Title 32 Technicians with Less Than 25 Years of Service from Selective and Qualitative Retention Boards.
Recommendation Information
1. Title 32 Military Technicians (Mil Techs) are vital to the National Guard, providing essential continuity in unit operations, training, equipment readiness, maintenance, and administrative support.
2. Although Mil Tech duty status is acknowledged in NGR 635-102 and AR 135-178, the regulations lack explicit guidance on its applicability to the SRB and QRB processes.
3. Mil Tech careers are uniquely structured, typically beginning with 5-10 years of prior National Guard service before entering the technician program. Achieving a full 25-year Technician career often requires 30-35 years of National Guard service.
4. Applying the SRB/QRB process to Mil Techs with less than 25 years of service poses challenges to career progression, potentially undermining retention, and the continuity of critical support functions.
