The Arng Format form, a comprehensive checklist designed to determine the approval authority for Active Duty (AD) or Full-Time National Guard Duty (FTNGD) special work tours, plays a crucial role in the operational readiness and personnel management within the Army National Guard (ARNG). It meticulously outlines the criteria under which soldiers seeking to engage in both short and long tour paid duty programs, excluding inactive duty training and readiness management assemblies, are evaluated. This includes a broad spectrum of assignments such as Annual Training, Active Duty Training, Active Duty for Special Work, and more, across various operational components. Factors such as the duration of the proposed tour, previous AD or FTNGD service within the fiscal year, and the cumulative total of AD or FTNGD days are scrutinized to decide if the Tour Adjutant General (TAG) or the Chief of the National Guard Bureau (CNGB) has the final approval authority. Additionally, the form addresses specific circumstances requiring CNGB's approval or waiver, such as service periods leading to eligibility for separation pay, commencement of tours at the beginning of the fiscal year, and continuous active federal service benchmarks. Moreover, prerequisites for publishing orders based upon the approval level, ensuring proper administration and compliance with regulatory guidelines, are also highlighted within this form. The Arng Format thus serves as a vital tool in managing the career trajectories of ARNG personnel, ensuring alignment with legal and administrative standards while supporting both soldier and organizational needs.
