Orb Form PDF Details

The Officer Record Brief (ORB) serves as a comprehensive document encapsulating a range of critical information pertaining to officers serving in the Army National Guard. Navigating through the ORB requires an understanding of its structure, which is divided into an administrative header followed by ten meticulously designed sections. These sections encompass assignment information, detailing aspects like overseas service and career field information, as well as security data, service milestones, personal and family data, and foreign language proficiencies, despite acknowledged system limitations. Moreover, it covers military and civilian educational achievements, awards and decorations, and a thorough assignment history. The process to view, print, update, and validate the ORB underscores the necessity of having a Common Access Card (CAC) and accessing the Army National Guard Benefits Online Website. Validating the ORB, a crucial step for officers anticipating board actions, requires the printed ORB to be updated and certified by the Unit Administrator, backed with supporting documentation. Understanding and managing the ORB not only aids in career progression but ensures an accurate and up-to-date reflection of an officer's career trajectory and accomplishments.
