Members of which category typically serve as part-time military personnel?

Drill Status Guardsmen are individuals who serve as part-time military personnel, primarily within the National Guard. Their service typically involves training for specific duty periods, often called drills, which may occur one weekend a month and require additional training during the year, such as annual training. This structure allows them to balance civilian careers or education while remaining ready to support military operations as needed.

In contrast, Active Duty Members serve full-time and are always available for military duty, regardless of their specific branch of service. Reserve Officers, while they do maintain a part-time commitment similar to Drill Status Guardsmen, generally focus on leadership roles and may not always have the same training schedule. Air Reserve Technicians serve in a unique role that combines civilian employment with military duties, often requiring them to be full-time employees of the Air Force while performing military responsibilities, which diverges from the part-time service characteristic of the Drill Status Guardsmen.
