in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

If a Space Force general stops holding a job that matches the general's rank, the Secretary of the Air Force must transfer or discharge that general within 60 days. The general picks from retirement, inactive status, reappointment at a lower grade, or discharge, and gets credit for past service time in a lower grade if reappointed.

(a) General Officers. Within 60 days after a Space Force general officer stops holding a position that matches the general's grade or a higher one, the Secretary of the Air Force must transfer or discharge the officer, based on the officer's choice among: (1) transfer, in grade, to the Space Force retired list, if qualified and the officer applies; (2) transfer, in grade, to inactive status, if qualified; (3) discharge from the general officer appointment, and reappointment at the grade held before becoming a general, if qualified and the officer applies; or (4) discharge from the appointment. (b) Credit for Service in Grade. An officer reappointed under (a)(3) gets credited with all prior active-status time already served in that grade and any higher grade.
