Federal Employment Opportunities with the California Military Department

Are you looking for a rewarding career serving both the state and nation? The California Military Department offers unique and exciting federal employment opportunities through two distinct programs: Title 5 USC (Civilian Employee) and Title 32 USC (Dual-Status Technician).  

Title 5 USC – Civilian Employee

These positions fall under Title 5 of the United States Code and offer a traditional federal civilian career path. Opportunities span a wide range of career fields, offering competitive benefits and incentives for General Schedule (GS) positions.  

Title 32 USC – Dual-Status Technician

Title 32 USC positions are unique! They are an excepted service career opportunity and require current membership in the California National Guard. As a Dual-Status Technician, you serve in a blended role, contributing to both your military and civilian careers. These positions are compensated under the General Schedule (GS) or the Federal Wage Schedule (FWS) and offer valuable experience and benefits.  

*NOTE: Employment under Title 32 – Dual Status Technician requires military membership in the California National Guard.
