Appropriation Summary

Program Adjustment Highlights in FY 2015

The budget request for the National Guard Personnel, Army (NGPA) decreased by a total of $94 million from FY 2014 to FY 2015. As overseas mobilization and deployments further 

decline, the Army National Guard (ARNG) will experience upward pressure on requirements associated with increased participation in collective training events. Concurrently, the 

ARNG will identify targeted program reductions throughout the appropriation in order to support FY 2015 end strength and force structure changes. This balance will ensure that the 

ARNG is able to meet the emerging demands of the nation both at home and abroad. 

While the overall budget request decreased from FY 2014 to FY 2015, there is programmatic growth in specific areas. A program increase in Inactive Duty Training (IDT) and 

Annual Training (AT) in Pay Group A is a result of increased participation in collective training events. The ARNG also has program growth in Active Guard Reserve (AGR’s) as 

deployments decrease and previously mobilized AGR’s transition from Pay Group A back to their original pay group in Administration and Support. These areas of growth are vital to 

the ARNG’s ability to fulfill its role as a force provider for the Department of Defense as well as the first line of defense for emergency and disaster response in the homeland. The 

growth in these programs is offset by savings in other programs in the NGPA appropriation.

Net program reductions of $130 million reflect the ongoing gradual reduction in end-strength from 354,200 in FY 2014 to 350,200 in FY 2015. As a result of the reductions, the 

ARNG will reduce funding in Pay Groups F & P by approximately $51 million and $10 million, respectively. The ARNG will reduce Schools funding by approximately $216 million and 

Special Training funding by $171 million in FY 2015 as a result of reduction in available seats. Savings from these programmatic reductions have been re-invested in Pay Group A 

and AGRs as mobilizations decrease and Soldiers return to their home station. This re-investment reflects the ARNG's commitment to developing and maintaining the operational 

readiness and capability of its service members for domestic and overseas contingency operations. 

The price increase of $36.7 million supports a pay raise of 1.0% in CY 2014 and CY 2015 and inflationary adjustments in travel, clothing, subsistence, and other pay. The price 

increase is partially offset by price decreases in Education Benefits & Selected Reserve Incentive Program and rate reductions in Retired Pay Accrual.

The January 1, 2015, Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) inflation assumption is 1.5 percent on-average - reflecting the Department's move to slow the growth of pay and benefits. 

A FY 2015 legislative proposal seeks to reestablish the authority to utilize an out-of-pocket computation - up to a maximum of 5 percent. In addition, by policy, renter's insurance 

(approximately 1 percent of BAH rates) will be removed from BAH computations as it is considered a non-housing cost. These two efforts will slow growth in BAH

rate to 1.5 percent per year on-average over a period of several years until the 5 percent out-of-pocket threshold is reached. 

However, it should be noted that this 1.5 percent average increase is a budgetary planning factor and actual rates will continue to be set by the individual location based on the 

current local rental housing market survey process. Actual implementation of the out-of-pocket adjustment under the proposal will be computed based on a percentage of the 

national median cost, so that the actual out-of-pocket dollar amount will be the same by pay grade and dependency status in every military housing area.

The Consolidated Security, Disaster Assistance, and Continuing Appropriations Act, 2009 (P.L. 110-329) made permanent the consolidated budget structure (single budget activity 

format) for the Guard and Reserve Components.

Introduction Statement

The National Guard Personnel, Army (NGPA) budget provides costs for basic pay, incentive pay, basic allowances for subsistence and housing, clothing, travel and per diem, other 

pay and allowances, permanent change of station, hospitalization and disability, retired pay accrual, death gratuities, annual training, inactive duty training, initial entry training, 

schools training (to include career development, refresher training, pilot training, MOS qualification, new equipment training), and education benefits. The request also provides 

funding for special training programs (including missions to support Combatant Commanders initiatives, recruiting and retention), bonuses and incentives, the Health Professional 

Loan Repayment Program, and the Basic Officer Leadership Course (BOLC) for newly commissioned Lieutenants. The NGPA request ensures that the ARNG continues to meet its 

requirement to provide a trained and ready force to defend the nation.
PB-30Y PERFORMANCE MEASURES AND EVALUATION SUMMARY

Army Force Generation (ARFORGEN)

The Army National Guard plays a unique role as both the primary combat reserve of the Army and the land-component response force for domestic operations. As the primary 

combat reserve, the ARNG continues to support the active force with specialized, technologically advanced Soldiers, enabling the Army to sustain joint operations through a 

strategically responsive force-generating capability. Resource requirements continue to support the ARNG as it transitions from company and platoon level operations to individual 

crew served (I/C/S) readiness levels for all units across the 50 states, 3 territories, and the District of Columbia. This ensures that the ARNG can meet its operational requirements of 

skill-rich capabilities attained through a decade of persistent conflict. The ARFORGEN model enhances responsiveness to complement the Army’s transformation as it reduces its 

end strength and force structure. In order to provide the Army with ready-to-deploy forces, today’s ARNG Soldiers must achieve higher levels of operational and personnel 

readiness prior to mobilization. The ARFORGEN model is the means to execute this strategy – a model that systematically advances units through a series of cumulative and 

progressively complex training events to improve unit readiness prior to entering the “Available” pool of the ARFORGEN model. As long as this model exists, readiness can be 

generated or decreased. The FY 2015 request provides funding to maintain ARNG statutory requirements of 39 training days for the force. Additional days are attained in FY2017-

FY2019 to achieve company level proficiency for three BCT’s in each year.

Army National Guard End-Strength

The ARNG continues to apply proper stewardship of allotted resources while producing relevant and ready capabilities. As part of the Army plan to reduce overall end-strength in 

anticipation of reduced future requirements, the ARNG budget supports an end-strength reduction from 354,200 in FY 2014 to 350,200 in FY 2015. The reduction returns the ARNG 

to end strength levels prior to the Grow the Army (GTA) initiative that began in FY 2008. As the Army National Guard gradually reduces end-strength, continued effort will be 

focused on shaping, maintaining, and retaining the force. Cost savings from reductions in schools and special training are a natural reflection of the ARNG’s reduction in endstrength which means fewer Soldiers will be available to attend schools or training events, and units will focus primarily on Individual Drill Training (IDT) and Annual Training (AT) at 

I/C/S levels in order to support missions both at home and abroad.

The FY 2015 National Guard Personnel, Army (NGPA) budget submission supports an end-strength of 350,200, which includes 31,385 AGRs.

Active Guard and Reserve Full-Time Support

The orders of ARNG Active Guard Reserve (AGR) members, whether they are serving under USC Title 10 or USC Title 32, are immediately transferred from the AGR personnel 

account upon mobilization. This facilitates proper personnel accountability in the Selective Reserve (SELRES) for pay accountability. To maintain compliance with United States 

Code, all mobilizing Soldiers are placed on a mobilization order under USC, Title 10. All mobilized Soldiers are paid from the Military Personnel Army (MPA) appropriation, but they 

remain Army National Guard Soldiers in a “non-participatory” status. The increase is accounted for in the participation rate for Pay Group A. 

Although mobilizations and deployments will significantly decrease in FY 2015, several activities continue at the unit’s home station during a deployment that requires full-time 

support. To minimize the operational impact created by mobilizing AGR members, the ARNG authorizes a one-to-three ratio to hire temporary backfills for those vacated positions. 
PB-30Y PERFORMANCE MEASURES AND EVALUATION SUMMARY

This ensures continuity of operations that maintains the readiness of non-mobilized units by providing administrative and operational support for armories and facilities which 

maintain an on-going presence in the local community (to maintain equipment and continue recruiting activities) while the unit is deployed. The ARNG supports the families of the 

deployed Guardsmen through the units’ armories. All these activities require full-time support. Salaries and travel for the temporary full-time support personnel are funded from 

within the current AGR program.

Homeland Defense and Domestic Capabilities

The Army National Guard continues to adapt to fulfill its dual mission of supporting the war fight while continuing to provide domestic response capabilities. This budget request 

enables the ARNG personnel strategies to this end. Domestically, the ARNG continues to support the Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and High-Yield Explosive 

(CBRNE) Enterprise by providing the majority of the total defense forces in this effort. This budget fully funds 57 Civil Support Teams (CST). Additionally, the ARNG supports 

weapons of mass destruction domestic response training for ten regionally-aligned Homeland Response Force (HRF) organizations. The HRF, along with the CBRNE Enhanced 

Response Force Package (CERFP) and the CSTs, provide regional and state-based capabilities to reduce response times in the event of a CBRNE event.

The Ronald W. Reagan National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2005 (P.L. 108-375) provided permanent, indefinite appropriations to finance the cost of TRICARE 

benefits accrued by uniformed service members. Since these costs are actually borne in support of the Department of Defense (DoD), they will be shown as part of the DoD 

discretionary total. The NGPA appropriation request excludes retiree health accrual funding, which is funded under a separate appropriation. Total obligations on behalf of military 

personnel include both the amounts requested for appropriation and amounts paid from the permanent, indefinite authority.

The Department is committed to reducing the unexpended/unobligated balances occurring annually in the military personnel appropriations. As part of the 2007 budget formulation, 

the military personnel budget estimates were reduced by over $291M from FY 2007 to FY 2011 for historical unexpended/unobligated balances. These reductions were based on 

the methodology used by Government Accountability Office. As a result, the FY 2011 and FY 2012 NGPA budget estimates were reduced by $70M and $76M respectively. The 

Service Components and the Defense Finance and Accounting Service have been directed to work together to:

1) Develop the lowest, achievable percentage level of unobligated/unexpended balances.

2) Develop a financial improvement plan with specific tasks that will be performed to reduce the unobligated/unexpended balances.

3) Add the necessary personnel resources to improve execution data collection.

4) Closely monitor through metrics in order to reduce Military Personnel (MILPERS) appropriation unobligated/unexpended balances to the lowest achievable percentage level 

by the end of each appropriation's five year availability.

Activity: National Guard Personnel, Army (NGPA)

Activity Goal: Maintain a trained, ready, and available Army National Guard force to execute the National Military Strategy.

Description of Activity: The NGPA appropriation supports military personnel pay and allowances to provide trained and qualified units in the Armed Forces in time of war, national 

emergency, and at such other times as the national security requires. The Army National Guard also fills the needs of the Armed Forces by complimenting the Active Component 

with trained, ready, and available forces in order to achieve the mobilization and deployment requirements. The Army National Guard also provides homeland defense forces, 

critical force structure, and support infrastructure capable of immediate response to a domestic emergency. The NGPA appropriation includes funding for pay, allowances, individual 

clothing, subsistence, travel, permanent change of station, schools, and special training.

Performance Measures End Strength

The end strength goal is to maintain the most effective force to execute the National Military Strategy equal to plus/minus 3% of the congressionally mandated End Strength 

Objective (ESO). In accordance with Army Planning and Senior Leader Guidance, the budgeted end-strength objective for FY 2015 is 350,200.

There are a number of factors that drive the Army National Guard end strength. These factors include recruiting, retention, and attrition. While success in these factors does not 

guarantee the Army National Guard will meet its ESO, they are carefully monitored as leading indicators to the health of the Army National Guard strength posture. These factors 

apply to the enlisted force.

PURPOSE AND SCOPE

FY 2013 Actual FY 2014 Estimate FY 2015 Estimate

2,402,897 2,353,744 2,616,067

PART I - PURPOSE AND SCOPE

Pay Group A funding provides basic pay, Basic Allowance for Subsistence (BAS), Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH), Cost of Living Allowance (COLA), Retired Pay Accrual (RPA), special pay (i.e. flight 

pay, airborne pay, etc.), and travel support for Selective Reserve members performing Annual Training (AT) and Inactive Duty Training (IDT). Funding also provides for clothing and allowances, including 

uniforms for enlisted Soldiers and authorized individual items of clothing for officers such as the officer’s initial clothing allowance.

Annual Training (AT)

The minimum period of AT, when Army National Guard units perform statutory collective training in active duty status, is 15 days annually. The account also funds additional AT days for advance and 

rear party personnel; training site support; AT planning, development and coordination; and extended unit participation in approved National Training Center (NTC) and Joint Readiness Training Center 

(JRTC) rotations. Advance party personnel prepare sites for incoming units, while rear party personnel clear training areas, equipment, and supply accounts. Training site support personnel fill critical 

unit shortfalls that arise when geographically dispersed units cannot perform collective training together. Leaders and special staff personnel develop and coordinate all aspects of AT plans, including site 

surveys and coordination meetings. Additional man-days are critical to remove training distracters and maximize the quality of required unit collective training.

Inactive Duty Training (IDT)

Commonly known as "weekend drills," IDT consists of any training other than Active Duty for Training (ADT) performed throughout the year, and is comprised of both Unit Training Assemblies (UTAs) and 

Additional Training Assemblies (ATAs). Each ARNG Soldier is authorized to participate in 48 UTAs per year. A UTA is a four-hour training period, and a typical weekend drill consists of four 

UTAs. ATAs provide training time (in addition to the 48 UTAs) for maintaining flight and jump proficiency, for select individuals to prepare for scheduled training events, and for members performing 

Military Burial Honors. 

PART II - JUSTIFICATION OF FUNDS REQUESTED

AT and IDT are the core of the training programs for the Army National Guard (ARNG). AT and IDT enable ARNG members to maintain proficiency in Military Occupational Specialties (MOS), to further 

develop skills in assigned functional areas, and to perform unit collective training. These training assemblies allow the Army National Guard to maintain its ready state to respond quickly to natural 

disasters and other domestic emergencies as well as mobilizations for overseas missions in support of military objectives.

The ARNG continues to fulfill requests for Military Funeral Honors supporting Veterans of all services throughout the CONUS. While the number of events conducted is not expected to decline, the 

program experiences an overall reduction in pay and allowances. Active Army Soldiers returning from deployments will supplement the manpower provided per event. Therefore, fewer ARNG Soldiers 

will be utilized per event.

The FY 2015 budget request supports the return of Selective Reserve members from mobilizations and overseas deployments to their respective units. It continues to fund additional AT an IDT training 

days to maintain the ARNG status at the Individual Crew and Squad (I/C/S) levels of readiness.

Average strength is used to accommodate strength changes throughout the year, while the participation rate is the percentage of personnel available for duty (including those mobilized/activated) with 

respect to total personnel. Paid participation reflects the number of officers and enlisted Soldiers participating in AT, required support man-days (including pre-mobilization support man-days), and 

approved extended periods for unit participation in National Training Center (NTC), Joint Readiness Training Center (JRTC) and Overseas Deployment Training (ODT) rotations in an AT 

status. Mobilized AGRs are included in the average strength and counted for in the participation rate but do not participate in AT.

Individual Clothing and Uniforms:

Program supports the issue and payment for individual clothing under the provisions of USC, Title 37, Sections 415, 416, and 418.

Officers receive their Initial Uniform Allowance when they report to their Basic Officer Leader Course (BOLC). In addition officers receive an Active Duty Allowance upon entering additional periods of 

active duty (to include training) of 90 days or more.

Enlisted Soldiers in Pay Group A receive a new issue of clothing, or an additional issue of clothing dependent on their entry status. Soldiers entering from other services that require different clothing 

receive an entire new issue. Soldiers entering from the Active Army, Army Reserve, or the Army National Guard can receive an additional issue depending on the length of the break in service. This 

ensures their individual clothing issue matches current clothing requirements. Soldiers also receive new issue items of clothing as they are needed, for example the new Army Service Uniform.

Replacement Issue allows the Army National Guard enlisted personnel to replace worn out, damaged items originally issued, or new issue items; avoiding an out-of-pocket expense, either by a monetary 

payment or by exchange-in-kind.

PART I - PURPOSE AND SCOPE

Pay Group F program funds support for base pay, Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH), Family Separation Allowance (FSA), Retired Pay Accrual (RPA), the Government's share of Federal Insurance 

Contribution Act (FICA), clothing, subsistence, and travel for non-prior service enlisted Soldiers attending Initial Entry Training (IET). The purpose of this program is to train non-prior service personnel to 

fill specific unit vacancies by attending Basic Combat Training (BCT) and Advanced Individual Training (AIT). Individuals receive basic, technical, and/or on-the-job training depending on their aptitudes 

and the needs of the Army National Guard. Upon completion of BCT and AIT, the member is assigned a Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) and is moved to Pay Group A for the purpose of budgeting 

and manpower strength. 

Soldiers in Pay Group F receive their initial introduction to the Army through BCT and AIT. The skills acquired in the BCT course provide the foundation of every Army National Guard member of how to 

be a Soldier in the world’s best Army. The skills acquired in Advanced Individual Training provide the Soldier with a skill set that specifically fills a critical need within the unit, state, and nation.

PART II - JUSTIFICATION OF FUNDS REQUESTED

Program reduction in FY 2015 is approximately 50 million in training seat requirements for non-prior service Initial Entry Training. This translates to a proportionate reduction in funding requirements in 

Pay Group F. Initial Entry Training may be conducted in one of three scenarios: single-station training, dual-station training, and split-option training. The majority of IET is conducted as single-station 

training where both BCT and AIT are conducted at the same installation. Specialized MOSs are conducted at installations that do not offer a BCT school. As a result, the Soldier must conduct an 

additional leg between BCT and AIT. Lastly, High School Juniors may enlist into the Army National Guard under the split-option program. Under split-option, these enlistees will complete BCT during the 

period between their Junior and Senior years of high school and then complete AIT after high school graduation. As a result, split-option Soldiers will incur two additional travel legs as part of their initial 

entry training.

Pay Group P program support funds for basic pay, Retired Pay Accrual (RPA), Government's share of Federal Insurance Contribution Act (FICA), clothing, and subsistence for enlisted Soldiers 

participating in multiple Unit Training Assemblies (UTA) prior to fully completing Initial Entry Training (IET). Enlistees are moved to funding category Pay Group F upon entry into basic training. Upon 

completion of Basic Training and Advanced Individual Training (AIT), Soldiers are moved to funding category Pay Group A to participate in Unit Training Assemblies and collective training events (Annual 

Training).

PART II - JUSTIFICATION OF FUNDS REQUESTED

Army National Guard members in Pay Group P are awaiting their Initial Entry Training. In many cases, several months may pass before a new Army National Guard recruit completes IET. In this 

intermediate period, the enlistee remains in Pay Group P and participates in UTA or Inactive Duty for Training (IDT) events, most often as part of the Recruit Sustainment Program (RSP). This program 

prepares new enlistees for basic training and Army life in general. The success of the RSP is directly responsible for training attrition rates that are among the lowest of all the Armed Services. Funding 

in Pay Group P is important to maintain low attrition rates for non-prior service recruits to the Army National Guard. Funding is provided in clothing to issue one set of the Army Combat Uniform (ACU) to 

each member entering Pay Group P.

PART II - JUSTIFICATION OF FUNDS REQUESTED

School training includes aviation officer basic course, officer and warrant officer candidate programs, military occupational specialty (MOS) courses, aviator refresher training, non-commissioned officer 

courses, officer career development schools, Sergeants Major Academy, and Senior Service College. School Training also provides formal school training, critical to the achievement and maintenance of 

individual skill proficiency standards, required for mobilization and wartime service. School funds include MOS qualification training and are a component of unit personnel readiness. Funding in this 

program also provides formal professional development training necessary to enable personnel to assume progressively higher levels of responsibility.

The estimate for Army National Guard Schools training in FY 2015 reflects an approximate $221 million decrease as the ongoing overall gradual end-strength reductions results in a decreased aggregate 

number of school training days required from the FY 2014 baseline.

Flight Training:

Program supports funding for selected aviation crew members to include, officers, cadets, officer candidates and warrant officers for training that result in an aeronautical rating for an Army 

aviator operator. The increase in FY 2014 was a movement to rebuild the aviation readiness after a decade of war. The lead time to develop a fully trained pilot is up to two years, the majority of which 

includes an initial year of flight training. In FY 2015, flight training funds officer training only and does not fund enlisted flight training. In the past, enlisted Soldiers attended Officer Candidate School, and 

once completed, continue on to flight training. Their orders were not amended or changed to reflect the transition from the enlisted ranks to the officer ranks. Therefore, there is execution in FY 2013 flight 

training for enlisted Soldiers, as well as FY 2014. This issue has been rectified for FY 2015.

PART I - PURPOSE AND SCOPE

The Special Training sub-activity provides for Basic Pay, Retired Pay Accrual (RPA), Special Pay, Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH), Basic Allowance for Subsistence (BAS), tuition, the Government's 

portion of Federal Insurance Contribution Act (FICA) requirement, and Permanent Change of Station (PCS) costs (for tours exceeding 139 days) for personnel attending various special training programs 

while in an Full-time National Guard Reserve Component (FTNG-RC) or Active Duty for Training (ADT) status (to include Army National Guard support for DoD emergencies). 

Special Training permits the traditional (“M-Day”) National Guard Soldier to perform duty in an active duty status in addition to 48 drills (IDT) and 15 days of Annual Training (AT). Special Training affords 

the Army National Guard Selective Reserve the ability to participate in training experiences and Force Protection exercises that cannot be conducted during IDT and AT. Special Training performed in an 

FTNG-RC status accomplishes missions that exceed the normal full-time manning.

Special Training supports the Chemical, Biological, Nuclear, High-Yield Explosive (CBRNE) Enterprise, Command/Staff Supervision, Competitive Events, Exercises, Management Support, Operational

Training, Recruiting and Retention (R&R), and Unit Conversion activities. These activities provide planning and execution of mobilization and readiness training exercises. All Special Training activities 

directly affect the readiness of the Army National Guard for both domestic emergency response and overseas contingency missions.

Counter Drug (Drug Interdiction) activities fund Army National Guard Soldiers providing support to the Federal Counter Narcotics Program (CNP). This activity also provides funding for the training of 

Army National Guard personnel in support of the Federal Counter Narcotics Program (CNP). Counter Drug activities are budgeted in the Department of Defense Counter Narcotics budget request and 

are reprogrammed during the year of execution.

PART II - JUSTIFICATION OF FUNDS REQUESTED

The estimate for Army National Guard Special Training in FY 2015 reflects a $171 million program decrease as the Army National Guard transitions to a smaller force. Programmatic reductions affected 

the Exercises program as the training strategy transitions from battalion, company, and platoon level operations training to individual crew squad (I/C/S) levels of readiness in FY 2015. The FY 2015 

budget does not include funding for any Combat training Center (CTC) rotations.

Counter Drug Program:

Program encompasses all Army National Guard personnel providing support to the Federal Counter Narcotics Program (CNP). Funding is transferred to this appropriation in the year of execution. The 

National Guard Counter Drug Program (NGCDP) funds personnel and equipment in accordance with the Governors’ State Plans of the 50 states, 3 territories and District of Columbia supporting Local, 

State and Federal Law Enforcement Agencies’ domestic interdiction strategies. This funding provides support across six different mission categories: Program Management, Technical Support (Linguists, 

Operational/Investigative Case and Analysts, Illicit Narcotics Detection, Communications and Subsurface/Divers), General Support (Law Enforcement Agency (LEA) Domestic Cannabis

Suppression/Eradication Operations and Transportation) CD-related Training of LEA/Military Personnel, Reconnaissance/Observation (Ground and Aerial) and Drug Demand Reduction (Education 

Programs, Awareness Programs and Support to Anti-drug Community Coalitions). 

The largest Army National Guard contributions to this program are in the technical support mission and aerial recon categories. The Technical Support mission constitutes approximately one third of the 

NGCDP. A critical mission in this program area is the Counter Threat Finance (CTF). The CTF mission is conducted by Army National Guard members who not only support domestic law enforcement, 

but also support Geographic Combatant Commanders. NGCDP CTF Soldiers are eligible for rotation to the CENTCOM AOR to support CTF efforts. The robust NGCDP aerial recon mission supports 

domestic law enforcement with 30,000 to 32,000 flight hours annually using 144 rotary winged aircraft. The skills used in support of domestic law enforcement are directly transferable to their military 

mission skill sets.

Administration and Support funds support Basic Pay, Retired Pay Accrual (RPA), Basic Allowance for Subsistence (BAS), Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH), uniform allowances, the Government's 

share of the Federal Insurance Contribution Act (FICA), travel, and permanent change of station travel costs for Active Guard and Reserve (AGR) personnel called to active duty under USC, Title 10 

Section 10211, or while serving on duty under USC, Title 10 Section 10211 and Title 32 Section 502(f) or Section 503 in order to train, organize, and administer the Army National Guard.

This sub-activity also provides death gratuity payments to beneficiaries of Army National Guard personnel who die as a result of an injury incurred or a disease contracted while participating in active or 

inactive duty training. Additionally, this sub-activity funds enlistment and reenlistment bonuses and educational assistance (loan repayment), the full-time manning for the Civil Support Teams (CST), and 

the Ground-Based Mid-Course Defense (GMD) programs.

PART II - JUSTIFICATION OF FUNDS REQUESTED

Administration and Support funds those members of the Army National Guard (ARNG) who support operations on a full-time basis as well as the Selective Reserve Incentive Program (SRIP).

Active Guard and Reserve (AGR) personnel provide full-time support to the ARNG to ensure the day-to-day operations continue at all times. Full-time administration and support personnel perform a 

variety of functions to include: maintaining unit armories, managing the National Guard Bureau, manning state operation centers, administering medical care, organizing recruiting activities, and providing 

logistical support to other major Army Commands (FORSCOM, TRADOC, NORTHCOM, etc.).

In order to minimize the impact created by mobilizing AGRs, the ARNG utilizes a 1 to 3 ratio to hire temporary backfills to maintain the readiness of non-mobilized Soldiers and to provide administrative 

and operational support for armories and facilities, maintaining a presence in the local community. This funding is essential to the operations, training, and employment of the National Guard both at 

home and abroad. The request supports an end-strength of 31,385.

Funding for SRIP ensures that the Army National Guard is able to continue to recruit the most qualified candidates by offering bonuses and incentives to enlistees that fill critical needs within the Army 

National Guard. The request for FY 2015 represents both initial payments to new enlistees and the anniversary payments entitled to members accessed in prior years that complete requirement eligibility 

for anniversary payments. The Army National Guard will achieve significant savings in bonuses and incentive programs as the organization transitions from a normal recruiting focus to one of targeted 

recruiting with added emphasis on retention. The Army National Guard will manage a gradual reduction in end-strength from 354,200 in FY 2014 to 350,200 in FY 2015.

Continental United States (CONUS)/Other Continental United States (OCONUS) Cost of Living Allowance (COLA):

Program supports the payment of COLA to Soldiers who are assigned to high cost living areas in CONUS/OCONUS. A high cost area is defined as a locality where the cost of living exceeds the average 

cost of living in CONUS/OCONUS by an established threshold percentage during a base period. The threshold percentage is established by the Secretary of Defense and cannot be less than eight 

percent. The amount of COLA payable is the product of discretionary income (based on regular military compensation) multiplied by the difference between the COLA index for the individual's high cost 

area and the threshold percentage. 

Total CONUS COLA requirements are determined by multiplying the projected number of eligible personnel by an estimated rate.

Selected Reserve Incentive Program (SRIP):

The Army National Guard Bonus and Incentive program provides financial incentives, to include select bonuses designed to attract and retain high quality Soldiers who possess skills needed to 

meet operational requirements, and/or who qualify for specialized training in critical skill targeted to mission requirements. Depending on the type of bonus, the Army National Guard Enlistment bonuses 

are paid either in one lump sum upon successful completion of initial entry training, or in installments. 

SRIP reflects a decrease from FY 2014 to FY 2015 as the number of takers will decrease as the AGR End Strength decreases.

Officer Programs

FY 2015 total net program decreases within the Selective Reserve Incentive Program (SRIP) are associated with changes in Army National Guard SRIP Policy and the Army National Guard Army Medical 

Department Officer Incentive Policy. The Exception to Policy Department of Defense Instruction (DODI) 1205.21 allows the Reserve Components to incentivize qualifying medical field personnel beyond 

20 years of Commissioned Service and also provides for offering this incentive multiple times to encourage retention in the medical community. In FY 2015, reduction in takers begins as the ARNG begins 

to decrease AGR end strength to 31,385, in addition to restricting bonus policy, and decreasing the quantity and amount of Officer Accession bonuses offered. The ARNG desires to attract Officers from 

the Army through the Officer Affiliation bonus program. In FY 2015, policy allows a three and a six year bonus with initial upfront payments to attract those Soldiers versus the anniversary payments.

Enlisted Programs

FY 2015 total net program decreases within the Selective Reserve Incentive Program (SRIP) are associated with changes in Army National Guard SRIP Policy. The Student Loan Repayment Program 

(SLRP) increases in the number of eligible applicants while the dollar amount per applicant decreases in FY 2015. This is due to an increase in eligible Soldiers who have a smaller loan balance to 

receive this incentive. Requirements for anniversary payments increase in FY 2015 while initial payments decrease due to the policy changes from previous years. Enlisted Affiliation bonuses became 

more restrictive in FY 2103, showing a slight increase in the amount offered from FY 2014 to FY 2015. Anniversary payments no longer exist because policy offers this in lump sum. Reenlistment 

bonuses become much more restrictive in FY 2014 when compared to FY 2013. The quantity of bonuses and the amount both decrease in FY 2015. Additionally, anniversary payments increase from 

FY2014 resulting from enlistments in FY 2012. This will begin to decrease to zero, as a result of previous contracts issued on a lump sum payment schedule. There is a slight increase from FY 2014 in 

the MOS Conversion bonus program due to attracting Soldiers to convert to critical MOS’s. This program is for Soldiers who voluntarily move critical needed positions within the ARNG and become MOS 

qualified in FY 2015.

PART I - PURPOSE AND SCOPE

Program supports the payments to the Department of Defense Education Benefits Fund, a trust fund administered by the Veterans Administration (VA). This program is governed by USC, Title 10 

Section 106 and funds educational benefits payments in their entirety for eligible individuals in the Selected Reserve. This program is budgeted on an accrual basis and funded based on Amortization 

Amounts determined by the Department of Defense Board of Actuaries. Actual payments to individuals are made by the Veterans Administration from trust fund.

PART II - JUSTIFICATION OF FUNDS REQUESTED

Education benefits cover obligations to Army National Guard members for assistance in education costs. This program assists Soldiers with the costs of education and provides additional incentives for 

joining the Army National Guard. A secondary benefit to the Army National Guard is realized as the total force becomes more capable, educated, and able to perform increasingly more complex missions 

effectively and efficiently. All education – civilian and military – provides additional leverage to the total capability of the force.

The most recent Valuation of the Education Benefits Fund by the Department of Defense Board of Actuaries revealed a program increase of $4 million dollars for Chapter 1606 Basic Kicker due to an 

increase in eligible participation rate. However, there are no changes in liability for the Army National Guard for Chapter 1607 Basic Benefits for FY 2015.
