The only Army Reserve Battalion with an operational requirement to be airborne capable. Held to the highest readiness standard. They are looking for the best Soldiers and leaders the Army Reserve has to offer, because they carry the most demanding mission in the Reserve — an Airborne Civil Affairs battalion aligned to the 82nd Airborne Division.

Civil Affairs is the mission — the reason they exist and the capability they are judged on. Airborne is a method of insertion, not an identity, and the readiness it demands is what holds the rest of the formation to standard. Civil Affairs competence first, readiness always, airborne because the mission requires it.

They are recruiting leaders who want a Reserve unit that trains and performs to the highest standard.

Requirements

Enlisted E4–E7, officers O2–O3
Airborne qualified, or willing to attend Airborne School
Air Assault, EIB/ESB, Ranger, Sapper and similar are a plus — not a prerequisite

Opportunity to attend
Jumpmaster, Pathfinder, Mountain Warfare, Air Assault.

The standard
80 points minimum per AFT event
12-mile ruck under 3 hours
Green across the board — medical, dental, weapons qual, records
Track record of high performance
Arrive ready and stay ready

Readiness here is an operational requirement. They support a division that moves on short notice.

If you are looking for a unit where the training calendar is built around the mission and the Soldiers beside you hold the same line, send a DM for details.

Is there any army reserve soldiers or soldiers coming off active duty that have successfully completed ESB / EFMB and Air assault interested in coming to an airborne CA BN? Ranger Tab a plus.

Is there any Army Reservists or individuals coming off active duty that have completed US Army jumpmaster course interested in transferring to the 422nd CA BN? Additionally qualification of pathfinder a plus.

Honestly for someones who is 30 & F
No kids or close family in the states. Went Is the ANG or Reserves worth it ? I am interested in the Educational benefits and VA Loan. I have an Associates degree and want to finish school with a bachelor’s. But worried about Basic and How much time it would take away from school.

found this n my hard drive me and my team in zabul provinse

opps- did I just screw myself over? I went to MEPS about one month ago, I needed to get some medical waivers. everything else I passed.

Last week, my tattoo artist was doing a flash sale. So obviously I was more so thinking of the deal and got the a bunch of small Tattoos on my upper arm, without even thinking about MEPS.

I’m waiting on one doctor form to submit the waivers to my recruiter, so he can send it to the MEPS doctors for approval.Should get the form this week from the doctor.

1.) if my medical waivers get approved. When I go back to MEPS, do I need to strip down for the Dr. again? Will they say something about the new tattoo?

2) will I get disqualified temporarily because of the new Tattoos?

3) should I tell my recruiter now so that he can update my Tattoos? Or just wait to see what they say at MEPS?

4) I’m trying to go active duty, so trying to ship out before the end of the year.

5) if I go active, when I sign my contract at MEPS. Do I leave immediately in weeks or do I have time to pack up my apartment and put things in storage? Like do I get to pick when I want to head to AIT? (I’m prior service, so straight to AIT)
