Air National Guard personnel may volunteer to serve on active duty under the National Guard
Bureau, Title 10, United States Code, Section 12301(d), Armed Forces Statutory Tour of Duty
Program (Statutory Tour Program). While on active duty they serve as members of the Air
National Guard of the United States (ANGUS) in a Reserve of the Air Force status. Tours of
duty are available in the Statutory Tour Program at many locations that include, but are not
limited to, the National Guard Bureau (NGB), the Air National Guard Readiness Center
(ANGRC), the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), the office of the Secretary of the Air
Force (SAF), Headquarters, United States Air Force (HQ USAF), the Major Commands
(MAJCOM) and other Air National Guard Operating Locations (ANG/OL). By their service,
members of the ANGUS provide the NGB and its federal mission with a positive influence on
the development and implementation of plans, programs, and policies, and they provide their
expertise in functional and operational areas to staff agencies within the Department of Defense
(DoD). The overall benefit of the Statutory Tour Program is the enhancement of NGB’s mission
by helping (1) Management decisions to reflect current ANG missions and weapons system
requirements while at the same time (2) Providing ANGUS personnel with the opportunity to
apply their exceptional field experience and expertise in a policy making environment. This
instruction applies to all ANG members serving in the Statutory Tour Program under Title 10
U.S.C., Section 12301 (d).
