Army National Guard Units

Army National Guard Units is how USAJOBS labels civilian positions at the Army National Guard’s state and territorial organizations. The Guard is both a state militia under its governor and a reserve component of the Army, and its full-time civilian workforce keeps units trained, equipped and administered between drills. Many of these positions are dual-status military technician roles, which require membership in the National Guard as a condition of employment; the announcement’s “Who May Apply” section states what is required for each job.

Recent listings have included surface maintenance mechanics and their supervisors, aircraft mechanics, production controllers, budget officers, deputy financial managers, logistics management specialists, program analysts, IT cybersecurity specialists, HR specialists, health system specialists, a contract specialist and sexual assault prevention and response victim advocates. Titles often carry “Title 32” or “T5” to signal the appointment type.

Applying tip: read the “Who May Apply” and military requirements sections before anything else, since they decide eligibility outright. Guard jobs are posted state by state, so set a USAJOBS saved search for the states you can work in. Our National Guard guide explains how these announcements differ from other federal postings.
