Which publication numbers govern Enlisted Personnel Management for the Army National Guard?

• A. AR 600-200 and NGR 600-200
• B. AR 600-280 and NGR 600-200
• C. AR 601-280 and NGR 600-200
• D. AR 601-280 and NGR 600-100

Answer: (C)

In this area, managing enlisted personnel across the Army National Guard relies on the general policy for enlisted management and a National Guard-specific supplement. The base regulation provides the broad rules for how enlisted members are developed, promoted, assigned, and retained, while the National Guard supplement tailors those rules to Guard units and state missions.

Therefore, the combination of AR 601-280 and NGR 600-200 is the pair that governs Enlisted Personnel Management for the Army National Guard. The National Guard uses the NGR to adapt the Army-wide enlisted management framework to Guard-specific contexts, procedures, and authorities.

Other options mix regulations that either don’t represent the enlisted-management framework or rely on different supplements that aren’t the Guard’s standard for this topic.
