Summary

A person chosen by the Secretary of the Air Force can put a Space Force enlisted member who is in active status on sustained duty, or keep them on sustained duty, if the member agrees and the action fits the terms of their enlistment or reenlistment. That same kind of official can put a Space Force officer on sustained duty either with the officer’s consent or to meet an active-duty service commitment the officer owes under law. An officer cannot be removed from sustained duty without their consent except as allowed under chapter 2009 or 2011 of this title.
