                Memorandum of April 14, 2011

                
Delegation of Functions and Authority Under 
                Sections 315 and 325 of Title 32, United States Code

                Memorandum for the Secretary of Defense

                By the authority vested in me as President by the 
                Constitution and the laws of the United States of 
                America, including section 301 of title 3, United 
                States Code, I hereby delegate to you: (a) the 
                functions and authority of the President contained in 
                section 315 of title 32, United States Code, to permit 
                a commissioned officer of the Regular Army or Regular 
                Air Force to accept a commission in the Army National 
                Guard or the Air National Guard, as the case may be, 
                terminable at your discretion, without prejudicing his 
                or her rank and without vacating his or her regular 
                appointment; and (b) the functions and authority of the 
                President contained in section 325 of title 32, United 
                States Code, to authorize the service of an officer of 
                the Army National Guard or the Air National Guard on 
                active duty without relieving that officer from duty in 
                the National Guard of his or her State, or of the 
                Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Guam, or the United States 
                Virgin Islands, or the District of Columbia and to give 
                such authorization in advance for the purpose of 
                establishing the succession of command of a unit.

                This delegation of functions and authority supersedes 
                and replaces the July 23, 2004, delegation to the 
                Secretary of Defense of the functions and authority of 
                the President contained in section 325 of title 32, 
                United States Code.

                You are further authorized and directed to make 
                necessary arrangements to fund the exercise of these 
                functions and authority from the proper appropriation, 
                prescribe regulations to implement these functions and 
                authority, and to publish this memorandum in the 
                Federal Register. 
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,
