MAINTAIN YOUR RANK AND MILITARY BENEFITS BY TRANSITIONING TO THE ARMY RESERVE.

As a Commissioned Officer in the Air Force or Navy, you know what it takes to successfully serve our country. And you know how important and challenging it is for our Armed Forces to retain highly qualified men and women. Operation Blue to Green enables us to smoothly facilitate the transfer of qualified Air Force and Navy Officers to the Army Reserve. This program gives you the opportunity to expand your capabilities and education by gaining new training and working with leading-edge technologies. In return, you’ll continue to serve our country, maintain your federal benefits, and build your retirement. If you are prior service and have left the military, you’ll still retain at a minimum your rank (or higher), your Time In Service (TIS), and your retirement credits for returning.

This section outlines the various financial incentives you’ll receive for continuing your service to the country and the opportunities you’ll have to enhance your civilian career. You’ll also learn what assignments are involved when serving, the duties to be fulfilled as you serve in your particular specialty, and the qualifications you’ll need to be considered. As you read the profiles of other prior military physicians, you’ll understand the motivations of your peers for rejoining and why they’re continuing their service to the country.
