During this period of 'right sizing' the Air Force and Navy, the Army recognizes the need for our Armed Forces to retain highly qualified men and women in our ranks. Operation Blue to Green offers you an alternative to civilian life. Operation Blue to Green will allow you to continue to serve your country, to maintain the benefits of military service, and to expand your horizons by gaining new training and trying new things. It facilitates the transfer of qualified Air Force and Navy individuals to active duty in the Army, depending on your service's willingness to release you from your current active service obligation. Selected members of the United States Marine Corp or Coast Guard, who are otherwise qualified, may be eligible for opportunities in the Army. However, Marines and Coast Guard will be required to complete their current term of active service.

• E-1 through E-5 will retain their grade and same date of rank.
• All E-5's and above will have grade and MOS determined by EIS IAW with para 5 above
  (E5s will retain current rank, unless, current MOS is over strength and they refuse to retrain in an MOS that allows E5 entry level training).
• Training - AFSCs or Rates that convert to Army Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) will only undergo the four week Warrior Transition Course (WTC). Retraining into other Army MOS may be possible based on individual's qualifications and training vacancies. Applicants enlisting for an MOS that requires One Station Unit Training (OSUT) will be inserted into OSUT after completion of the WTC.
• Bonuses may be available for selected Military Occupational Specialties that convert from an AFSC or Rate.
• Assignments - may be available for AFSC or Rate that convert to an Army MOS.
• Air Force and Navy personnel will be required to attend the Warrior Transition Course. (The Army developed this course to include Basic Combat Skills. This course will substitute for the current nine-week course in use to train Airmen, Sailors, and Coast Guardsmen enlisting in the Army.)

• Officers will retain their grade and date of rank.
• Officers will receive branch specific training as needed.
