between the United States Air Force Reserve Component forces and military forces of other
nations. In collaboration with the Deputy Chief of Staff for Manpower, Personnel, and Services,
the Chief of Air Force Reserve, and the Director of the Air National Guard develop personnel
policy for conducting the Military Reserve Exchange Program. The authorities to waive
