Air Force Reserve opportunities to transfer to full-time active duty in the U.S. Space Force
Recent enactment of the Space Force Personnel Management Act (PMA) has afforded the United States Space Force (USSF) the opportunity to create a single service in which members are not identified as Active Duty or Reservists, but rather as Guardians who serve in full-time or part-time roles.
Air Force Reserve professionals serving in the following Air Force Specialty Codes (AFSC) are eligible to apply for voluntary transfer to the Space Force.
Officers: 13S, 14N, 17X, 6X
Enlisted: 1C6X1, 1N0, 1N1, 1N2, 1N3, 1N4, 1N8, 1D7X1, 1D7X2, 1D7X3
THE APPLICATION WINDOW IS CURRENTLY CLOSED.
Application windows for Air Force Reservists interested in transferring to the Space Force in a part-time capacity are expected to open in 2026 once policies, processes and systems are established. PMA does not currently apply to space units and personnel currently resident in the Air National Guard; however, Guard members could expect a similar process to their Reserve counterparts after authorized and appropriate legal and policy changes.
