Who performs active-duty tours within Reserve units or active component organizations providing necessary support?

The Active Guard Reserve (AGR) program is designed to utilize selected reservists on active duty to ensure that Reserve units and components are adequately staffed and operationally ready. AGR members serve in a capacity that allows them to perform duties similar to their active-duty counterparts while still being part of the Reserve force. This arrangement provides essential support for training, operations, and administrative functions within Reserve units or active component organizations.

Members of the AGR typically have a mix of responsibilities that include training the Reserve force, maintaining readiness, and supporting the overall mission of the military while stationed in various roles that require their skills and expertise. Their position allows for continuity and stability in the unit, fostering an environment where reservists can effectively train and prepare for deployment and other missions.

In contrast, the other options refer to different roles within the military structure. Drill Status Guardsmen primarily participate in training and weekend drills, while Individual Ready Reserve members may not be actively serving, and Air Reserve Technicians serve in civilian roles that support the Reserve mission but may not be on active duty. Each has distinct responsibilities and statuses that do not encompass the active-duty support provided by the AGR program.
