Title 10 › Subtitle Subtitle E— Reserve Components › Part II— PERSONNEL GENERALLY › Chapter 1203— ENLISTED MEMBERS › § 12106
If an enlisted person leaves the Army National Guard, they become a member of the Army Reserve unless they are also discharged from their Reserve enlistment. The same rule applies to the Air National Guard: leaving it makes an enlisted person a member of the Air Force Reserve unless they are also discharged from Reserve enlistment. Becoming a Reserve member under these rules ends their Army or Air National Guard membership.
