What is an AGR position?
TRAIN, SUPPORT AND MOBILIZE IN THE DELAWARE NATIONAL GUARD

Active Guard Reserve (AGR) Soldiers serve full-time and enjoy the same benefits as Active Duty Soldiers.

With an Active Guard Reserve job, you receive full pay, medical care for you and your family, and the opportunity for retirement after 20 years of active service.

Active Guard Reserve Soldiers are stationed at thousands of Army Guard units throughout the United States.

The Active Guard Reserve program allows Soldiers transitioning off active duty the opportunity to compete for AGR positions closer to home.

What is a Federal Technician?
The Military Technician Program is a critical component of the National Guard in all fifty states, U.S. territories and District of Columbia. The program was established to provide National Guard technicians with fair and just compensation, employment benefits, and entitlement to a retirement system that is equitable to other federal employees. The law also designates, through the Secretaries of the Army and Air Force, The Adjutants General of each state to employ and administer the Military Technician Program. This authority may be further delegated to the Human Resources Officer (HRO).
