Bill > H3860

This bill establishes the Guard Enlistment Enhancement Program (GEEP), a new initiative designed to support the Massachusetts National Guard's recruitment efforts. The program allows current National Guard members and retirees to use their non-duty hours to help recruit new soldiers and airmen, with financial incentives for successful recruitment. Specifically, participating "recruiting assistants" can receive up to $1,000 for each new recruit they bring into the Massachusetts National Guard. The program aims to maintain the National Guard's readiness by ensuring each unit is fully staffed to the extent permitted by law. The Adjutant General of the Massachusetts National Guard will oversee the program, develop implementation policies, and manage the compensation for recruiting assistants. The overall goal is to address the increasing demands on National Guard members and support ongoing domestic operations by creating a more robust and motivated recruitment process.
