Army and Guard reach compromise on training duties
The Army and National Guard announced a compromise to end the dispute over active duty training for Guard recruits. The plan, backed by Rep Overton Brooks, would allow 11 weeks of active training for 17 to 18 year olds recruited this year, with enlistment before Jan 1 to complete training. New recruits over 18 with no prior service would need six months of active duty training, aligning with other reserve programs. The Air National Guard’s 14 week program remains unaffected, while the Army had pressed for six months for all.
