Space Force to Accept Air Force Reserve Volunteers for Part-Time Positions

The Space Force Personnel Management Act (PMA) has afforded the United States Space Force (USSF) the opportunity to create a single component service where 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 interested in becoming Guardians in part time roles are encouraged to complete the application process.

Air Force Reserve eligibility includes: 

Air Force Reserve Officers who hold the following Core IDs: 13S; 17X; 14N; 6X.

Eligibility outside of 13S and 1C6 must have Space experience. The USSF will review duty history to ensure at least one prior assignment in a Space organization is reflected.  
Eligible service members must be fully trained in the career field in which they are applying.

Selected Airmen must transfer in their current career field, with the following exceptions:

Officers selected from the 61X, 64P, and 65X career fields will re-core to 62E or 63A Space Force Specialty Codes (SFSC).

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.
