  1. Welcome to your briefing as a WV National Guard Permanent Federal Excepted Service Technician.(Be sure to review this presentation until the very last slide to ensure you receive proper credit for completion.)

  5. What is a Federal Excepted Service Technician? With your selection as a National Guard Technician, you have become a federal employee covered by the National Guard Technician Act of 1968 (Public Law 90-486). Because of this law, you may be referred to as a military technician. Your primary mission as a military technician is to provide day-to-day continuity in the operation and training of Army and Air National Guard units.

  6. What is a Federal Excepted Service Technician? Military Technicians are employees of the Department of Army or Department of the Air Force. Dual Status Military Technicians are required to maintain military membership in the National Guard in order to retain employment. Non-Dual status technicians are not required to maintain military membership. However, unlike other Federal employees, the Adjutant General has the authority to affect employment and is the level of final appeal for most personnel actions. With few exceptions, a military technician enjoys the same benefits, privileges and rights as other federal employees.

  7. What is a Federal Excepted Service Technician? Positions in the National Guard Technician Program which require military membership in the National Guard as a condition of technician employment are considered excepted service under the provisions of 32 USC 709. This status means you are “excepted” from the rules that govern civil service employees in the areas of tenure and competitive requirements for appointments. Loss of military membership for any reason will cause termination of technician employment.

  8. Mission of the Human Resource Office: Plan, direct, and administer human resource programs for all full-time National Guard personnel to ensure relevance by leveraging technology, improving our processes and disseminating timely and accurate information so we can provide a trained and ready workforce to meet mission requirements.
