Army Guard soldiers who will be mobilized on federal orders must get a COVID-19 vaccine ahead of a June 30 deadline for other members of the force.
A policy memo obtained by Military.com states that Army Guardsmen will need to be vaccinated ahead of the Dec. 15 deadline previously set for active-duty soldiers if they will serve on federal duty.
The June 30 deadline for most soldiers of the Army Guard and Army Reserve is the latest vaccination deadline for any troops.
By comparison, active component airmen have until Nov. 2 and members of the Air Guard and Air Reserve have until Dec. 2.
