Retirement

The Alabama Army National Guard provides a comprehensive retirement benefits package that recognizes the long-term commitment and service of its members. Eligible guardsmen can earn a military pension through the National Guard Retirement System, which is based on a points system that accounts for years of service, duty status, and rank. Upon reaching retirement age, members receive monthly pension payments, ensuring financial stability in their post-service years. Additionally, guardsmen have access to the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP), a tax-advantaged retirement savings plan similar to a 401(k), allowing them to invest in their future. These retirement benefits reflect our commitment to supporting the long-term well-being and financial security of our soldiers.
