The Transfer Process
Prior to relocation, please contact your current Army National Guard unit and begin the coordination of your transfer. Your unit will let you know what you will need to do in order to clear the unit and will subsequently contact the IST Coordinator in your state to inform them of your pending move.
Occasionally, Soldiers relocate quickly without ample time to properly coordinate their transfer. When this occurs, Soldiers must contact their current unit of assignment immediately to request an excused absence from training in order to find another unit in the new State (up to 90 days). Please note that you will be required to attend all scheduled drill assemblies with your current unit if this excusal is not granted.
Unit RNCO and S1, will need to be involved in this process. The Soldier is ultimately responsible for completing this process.
Each State has their own requirements, below are what are required for a complete an Inbound/ Outbound IST packet for TX:
1. TX IST NGB 22-5 WORKSHEET - (SOLDIER / RNCO)
2. DA 4856 (IST COUNSELING) - (SOLDIER / RNCO or 1st Line Supervisor)
