Our IST site, Currently Serving - Texas Military Department //, has been updated with a checklist of required documents need to for a complete IST packet.
Below is the latest and greatest templates and IST checklist.
Once the packet is complete, the RNCO/ RSP Cadres/ Recruiter, IST Coordinator, NOT THE SOLDIER, can forward the complete packet to the TX IST DISRTO: ng.tx.txarng.list.ngrr-ist@army.mil, and the TX IST Office will work the request accordingly.
An IST packet does not need TAG or COS signature, just to the Unit Commander, per NGB IST Guidance.
DO NOT PLACE ON THE J1 TRACKER, OR FORWARD TO THE J1.
*DO NOT HOLD AN IST PACKET * A Letter of Acceptance (LOA) is not required in order to move forward with the IST process but is accepted if one is provided by the gaining states unit. If no LOA is provided with the IST packet, the gaining State IST Coordinators will work on finding the Soldier a position, that is the IST Coordinators job.
The NGB 22-5 is not produced by the losing State or unit. The NGB 22-5 is produced by the gaining state once a ‘position’ has been identified for the Soldier.
AGR – All actions must go through TX AGR Services and the gaining States AGR Services. Once a hire date is determined, then a NGB 22-5 contract will be presented by the gaining State.
In turn, that NGB 22-5 will be sent to the TX IST for production of a transfer order (TFO/XFR) through the TX State G1, releasing the Soldier from the state.
All Documents MUST BE Dated within the 90 Day Window of the Actual Requested Transfer Date.
After 90 days, if the requesting Soldiers IST packet has not been received with all the required supporting documents, per the items listed below, then the request will be deemed ‘CANCELLED DUE TO NON-COMPLIANCE/ INCOMPLETE PACKET’.
The TX IST 22-5 WORKSHEET MUST be completed in its entirety.
Unit RNCO and S1, will need to be involve in this process but the Soldier is ultimately responsible for completing this process.
