The Army and Air Force Secretaries must assign regular officers to help state National Guard units. With the President's permission, an officer can also accept a National Guard commission. The Secretaries may also assign enlisted troops to National Guard duty.
(a) The Secretary of the Army must detail commissioned officers from the Regular Army to duty with the Army National Guard of each state, Puerto Rico, the District of Columbia, Guam, and the Virgin Islands. The Secretary of the Air Force must do the same thing for the Air National Guard, using commissioned officers from the Regular Air Force. With the President's permission, an officer detailed this way may also accept a commission in the Army National Guard or Air National Guard. The President can end that National Guard commission at any time. Accepting it does not hurt the officer's regular rank or take away their regular appointment.
(b) The Secretary of the Army may also detail enlisted members of the Regular Army to duty with the Army National Guard of each state, Puerto Rico, the District of Columbia, Guam, and the Virgin Islands. The Secretary of the Air Force may do the same for the Air National Guard, using enlisted members of the Regular Air Force.
The Secretary of the Army shall detail commissioned officers of the Regular Army to duty with the Army National Guard of each State, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the District of Columbia, Guam, and the Virgin Islands. The Secretary of the Air Force shall detail commissioned officers of the Regular Air Force to duty with the Air National Guard of each State, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the District of Columbia, Guam, and the Virgin Islands. With the permission of the President, an officer so detailed may accept a commission in the Army National Guard or the Air National Guard, as the case may be, terminable in the President’s discretion, without prejudicing his rank and without vacating his regular appointment.
The Secretary of the Army may detail enlisted members of the Regular Army for duty with the Army National Guard of each State, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the District of Columbia, Guam, and the Virgin Islands. The Secretary of the Air Force may detail enlisted members of the Regular Air Force for duty with the Air National Guard of each State, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the District of Columbia, Guam, and the Virgin Islands.
