After receiving the Army National Guard Notification of Eligibility for Retired Pay for Non-Regular Service, the Soldier undergoes a retirement counseling brief with Unit Personnel or a Retirement Counselor to ensure that the Soldier understands the impact of their retired pay and benefits when requesting transfer to the Control Group Reinforcement. To initiate the transfer, a Soldier completes a memorandum in accordance with State procedures and submits all required documents through the Chain of Command to the State G1. Once the Soldier is discharged from the ARNG and is transferred to the Control Group Reinforcement, the Soldier becomes a member of the USAR in an active status. The Soldier must earn a minimum of 50 retirement points per year (e.g., Inactive Duty Training (IDT), Annual Training (AT) and Membership, etc.) to stay in this status.
