Same ID Cards for Active Duty and Reservists

The DoD has begun issuing new military ID cards that do not distinguish between active-duty and reserve members. Before, military ID cards were nearly identical except that they clearly identified an individual as "Active," "Reserve" or "Guard." The distinction was made to limit commissary privileges for Reserve and Guard members who were authorized for only 24 shopping days at a commissary per calendar year. The 2004 Defense Authorization Act did away with the commissary restriction, effectively eliminating a need for separate ID cards. The old ID cards will be phased out over the next 2 ½ years.
