5. The ARNG GOFRB process can be quite lengthy. In an effort to minimize delays in the process, it is essential the 

packages submitted reflect the highest standards of accuracy and completeness. Therefore, our point of contact for 

these actions will be the State MILPO. Their review of the final product prior to submission to NGB-SL will assist in 

the efficiency of providing quality documents to the Department of the Army. This review will also reduce the 

requirement to staff documents back to your office for corrections and/or additional information.

6. It is essential each State MILPO or their designated representative, assist the nominated officers in reviewing their 

Army Military Human Resource Record (AMHRR) for complete accuracy of their military record. The GOFRB 

reviews this information and compares it with other informational items in the nominated officer’s record.

7. Official Biographies and Official Photographs are the most significant representation of the nominee. Accuracy and 

format are extremely important. Anything that detracts from a uniform appearance causes the package to "stand out" 

and may have a negative effect on the nominee's board file. Packages not meeting the guidelines described in the 2020

guide will be returned for timelycorrections.
