CHAPTER III

POINT ASSESSMENT

1. Drill and Training Events. A period of full-time attendance at a location as directed by

orders issued by HQ NYG, MACOM, or by a published drill schedule. No drill will be
scheduled during MACOM Annual Training (AT) period. Individual attendance is recorded on a
1379 automated attendance document. The unit of time allotted for NY guard drill will be
converted to a point system as follows;

a. A Unit Training Assembly (UTA) is an evening drill, or half day drill of no less than two
(2) hours or more than four (4) hours. Attendance points credited would be one (1) point.
Individual attendance is recorded on a 1379 automated attendance document.

b. A Multiple Unit Training Assembly is a drill consisting of two (2) Unit Training
Assemblies. A MUTA would encompass no less than seven (7) hours or more than nine (9)
hours unless directed by the commander. The points credited will be: one point (1) for morning
UTA, and one (1) point for afternoon UTA, for a maximum amount of 2 points per day.
Individual attendance is recorded on a 1379 automated attendance document.

2. Administrative Meeting. A period of time scheduled as no less then two (2) hours at a
specific authorized location. The unit of time allotted for a NY Guard Administrative Meeting
may also be credited as one point (1) maximum. Individual attendance is recorded on a 1379
automated attendance document.

3. Split Unit Training Assembly (SUTA). A SUTA is a pre-approved duty accomplishing

New York Guard activities in lieu of attendance at a scheduled drill. No SUTAs will be
scheduled or permitted during a MACOM Annual Training (AT) period. The points allotted for
NYG SUTA will be relevant to the drill it replaces. Individual performance of a SUTA will be
recorded by date in lieu of the scheduled drill on the 1379 automated attendance document, and
include a authorization certificate and certification of performance by a senior officer.

4. Annual Training (AT). Each Major Command's (MACOM) Annual training period will not
be more than approximately seven (7) days in duration at a predetermined location. Training
requirements will be no less than eight (8) hours a day for the duration. This results in a total
time period of not less than fifty-six (56) hours. The unit of time allotted for NY Guard Annual
Training (AT) will be converted to a point system assessed as one point (1) for each eight hour
day in attendance, points will also be given for Advance, and Rear details.

5. Active Duty with Pay. Officially authorized and directed Active Duty with Pay can only be
approved and authorized by the Commander NYG. Each day and/or part of a day on duty will
credited as one point (1). Published orders and Certificate of Performance will document this
credit.

published orders approved by competent authority will be credited as two points (2) for each day

the State Reports will document this credit.

7. Special Duty (SD). Officially authorized and directed Special Duty (SD) without Pay on
published orders approved by competent authority will be credited as two points (2) for each day
or part of a day on duty without pay. Special Duty will be used for directed attendance at work
sessions, directed meetings, conference, i.e. MANY, SGAUS, presentation of and for the New

CHAPTER IV

REQUIREMENTS

1. Maintaining Membership. To maintain current active membership in the NYG an

individual must meet the minimum of attendance and point requirement of fifty percent (50%) of
scheduled drills, for a total points of not less then 23 per year, and must attend one (1) AT
within a three (3) year period.

Note:
Based upon AT, and Drills which are not usually scheduled for the same month gives the following:
11 months of scheduled Drills = 44 point per year
33 scheduled Drills for 3 years = 132 points for three years.
1 Annual Training Attendance = 7 points
Total points for three years = 139
Divided by 3 years = 46.33 points per year divided by 50% Averages out to 23 points per year

2. Promotion Requirements. For promotion and advancement consideration in the New York
Guard, all individuals must meet the minimum of attendance point requirements of seventy-five
percent (75%) of scheduled rills. This results in a minimum of 36.5 points per year.
Additionally they must have attended two (2) periods of Annual Training within a three (3) year
period. Consideration of attendance points for promotion may vary based on grade and duty
assignment. Points should be calculated and assessed during the entire period for advancing
grade, based on time in grade need for next promotion. As an example, if a promotion from O-4
to O-5 was under consideration a minimum of three years time in grade is needed, whereas from
O-2 to O-3 it is a two-year time in grade. The point assessment would therefore be based upon
the past three or two years of active duty time respectively.

Note:
Based upon AT, and Drills not usually scheduled for the same month this gives the following:
11 months of scheduled Drills = 44 point per year
33 scheduled Drills and meetings for 3 years = 132 points for three years.
2 Annual Training Attendance = 14 points
Total points for three years = 146
Divided by 3 years = 48.66 points per year divided by 75% Averages out to 36.5 points per year

3. Special Requirements. Active duty NYG members unable to meet the minimum of two
(AT) in a three (3) year period may use extra duty point assessments other than AT. To meet
this special requirement the extra duty must be specifically documented, and submitted for
approval by the Commander, NYG. A copy of this approval will be attached to the 1379
automated attendance document during the period of this extra duty. Published orders,
Certificate of Performance, and Value to the State Reports will document this credit.
Additionally, the Commander NYG may waive the AT requirement where drill attendance and
additional duty performance is exemplary and AT attendance creates undue hardship.
