National Guard and Reserve Task Force (NGRTF) Committee

Mission Statement

The MIC3 National Guard and Reserve Coverage Task Force (NGRTF) collects and analyzes relevant data in order to recommend whether MIC3 protections for military-connected students already in place for the children of these reserve component service members in Title 10 status should be expanded to cover children of members in other status situations, as well. A preliminary report is due to the EXCOM by April 2020 with a final report by July 31, 2020. The NGRTF will present their final report at the 2020 Annual Business Meeting.
