What type of duty status do AGR personnel serve under?

AGR personnel serve under Title 32 state status. This status allows members of the National Guard to perform active duty training, recruiting, and administrative duties while still remaining under the authority of their respective state governors, although they receive pay from federal funds. This distinguishes them from Title 10 federal status, which places servicemembers under the President of the United States' authority, and is typically used for federal mobilization.

Title 32 status is specifically designed to support the operational needs of the National Guard's mission at a state level, providing a unique bridge between federal and state missions. This duty status is critical for maintaining the readiness of the National Guard and ensuring that they can respond effectively both in a federal capacity as well as when mobilized by their state.

In contrast to this, other statuses such as state active duty and Reserve Active Duty status do not encompass the same broad operational and administrative responsibilities that AGR personnel fulfill under Title 32. State active duty typically refers to state emergency missions without federal funding, and Reserve Active Duty status usually pertains to reservists under Title 10 authority for federal purposes.
