The reserve components consist of the Air Force Reserve, Army Reserve, Marine Corps Reserve, Coast Guard Reserve, Army National Guard and the Air National Guard. “Active Service” is service on a active duty, mobilized or full-time Active National Guard (AGR) duty.
Educational Assistance Allowance for trainees under the Reserve Educational Assistance Program (Ch. 1607 of Title 10, U.S.C.). For trainees on an active duty, payment is limited to reimbursement of tuition and fees for the training taken.
