Regular Army and Reserve Components Enlistment Program
History. This publication is an adminis-
trative revision. The portions affected by this administrative revision are listed in the summary of change.
Summary. This regulation governs eligi-
bility criteria, policies, and procedures for enlistment and processing of persons into the Regular Army, the U.S. Army Reserve, and Army National Guard for enlistment per DODI 1304.26. It also prescribes the appointment, reassignment, management, and mobilization of Reserve Officers' Training Corps cadets under the Simultaneous Membership Program.
Applicability. This regulation applies to
the Regular Army, the Army National Guard/Army National Guard of the United States, and the U.S. Army Reserve, unless otherwise stated. It also applies to Department of the Army civilians involved in recruitment activities or Reserve Officers'
Training Corps/Simultaneous Membership Program management functions. Also, in case of conflict between this and other regulations establishing enlistment eligibility criteria, this regulation will take precedence and upon direction of the Secretary of the Army, certain requirements of this regulation will not be enforced during mobilization.
Proponent and exception authority.
The proponent of this regulation is the Deputy Chief of Staff, G?1. The proponent has the authority to approve exceptions or waivers to this regulation that are consistent with controlling law and regulations. The proponent may delegate this approval authority, in writing, to a division chief within the proponent agency or its direct reporting unit or field operating agency, in the grade of colonel or the civilian equivalent. Activities may request a waiver to this regulation by providing justification that includes a full analysis of the expected benefits and must include formal review by the activity's senior legal officer. All waiver requests will be endorsed by the commander or senior leader of the requesting activity and forwarded through their higher headquarters to the policy proponent. Refer to AR 25?30 for specific guidance.
Army internal control process. This
regulation contains internal control provisions in accordance with AR 11?2 and identifies key internal controls that must be evaluated (see appendix C).
Supplementation. Supplementation of
this regulation and establishment of command and local forms are prohibited without prior approval from the Deputy Chief of Staff, G?1 (DAPE?MPA), 300 Army Pentagon, Washington DC 20310?0300.
Suggested improvements. Users are
invited to send comments and suggested improvements on DA Form 2028 (Recommended Changes to Publications and Blank Forms) directly to the Deputy Chief of Staff, G?1 (DAPE?MPA), 300 Army Pentagon, Washington DC 20310?0300.
Committee management. AR 15?39 requires the proponent to justify establishing/continuing committee(s), coordinate draft publications, and coordinate changes in committee status with the Office of the Administrative Assistant to the Secretary of the Army, Analysis and Integration Cell (AAAI?CL), 105 Army Pentagon, Washington DC, 20310?0105. Further, if it is determined that an established "group" identified within this regulation later takes on the characteristics of a committee as found in AR 15?39, then the proponent will follow AR 15?39 requirements for establishing and continuing the group as a committee.
Distribution. This publication is availa-
ble in electronic media only and is intended for command levels B, C, D, and E for the Regular Army, the Army National Guard/Army National Guard of the United States, and the U.S. Army Reserve.
