Sec. 10305. Air Force Reserve Forces Policy Committee

    (a) There is in the Office of the Secretary of the Air Force an Air 
Reserve Forces Policy Committee on Air National Guard and Air Force 
Reserve Policy. The Committee shall review and comment upon major policy 
matters directly affecting the reserve components and the mobilization 
preparedness of the Air Force. The Committee's comments on such policy 
matters shall accompany the final report regarding any such matters 
submitted to the Secretary of the Air Force and the Chief of Staff.
    (b) The committee consists of officers in the grade of colonel or 
above, as follows:
        (1) five members of the Regular Air Force on duty with the Air 
    Staff;
        (2) five members of the Air National Guard of the United States 
    not on active duty; and
        (3) five members of the Air Force Reserve not on active duty.

    (c) The members of the Committee shall select the Chairman from 
among the members on the Committee not on active duty.
    (d) A majority of the members of the Committee shall act whenever 
matters affecting both the Air National Guard of the United States and 
Air Force Reserve are being considered. However, when any matter solely 
affecting one of the Air Force Reserve components is being considered, 
it shall be acted upon only by the Subcommittee on Air National Guard 
Policy or the Subcommittee on Air Force Reserve Policy, as appropriate.
    (e) The Subcommittee on Air National Guard Policy consists of the 
members of the Committee other than the Air Force Reserve members.
    (f) The Subcommittee on Air Force Reserve Policy consists of the 
members of the Committee other than the Air National Guard members.
    (g) Membership on the Air Staff Committee is determined by the 
Secretary of the Air Force and is for a minimum period of three years. 
Except in the case of members of the Committee from the Regular Air 
Force, the Secretary of the Air Force, when appointing new members, 
shall insure that among the officers of each component on the Committee 
there will at all times be two or more members with more than one year 
of continuous service on the Committee.
    (h) There shall be not less than 10 officers of the Air National 
Guard of the United States and the Air Force Reserve on duty with the 
Air Staff, one-half of whom shall be from each of those components. 
These officers shall be considered as additional members of the Air 
Staff while on that duty.
