physically fit to perform the duties of his office, rank, grade, or rating,
he shall, subject to his consent, be reappointed or reenlisted, as the
case may be, in his Reserve component: Provided, That if the name
of such member was placed on the temporary disability retired list
for physical disability incurred while serving in the National Guard
of the United States, or in the Air National Guard of the United
States, he shall, subject to his consent, if not reappointed or reenlisted,
as the case may be, in the component from which removed, be appointed,
reappointed, enlisted, or reenlisted, as the case may be, in the Organized
Reserve Corps or the Air Force Reserve.
(c) Any appointment, reappointment, enlistment, or reenlistment
authorized pursuant to subsection (a) or subsection (b) of this section
shall be in a rank, grade, or rating not lower than the rank, grade, or
rating permanently held at the time of placement of the name of the
member concerned upon the temporary disability retired list, and may
be in the rank, grade, or rating immediately above the rank, grade, or
rating permanently held at the time of placement of the name of the
member concerned upon the temporary disability retired list. When
seniority in rank, grade, or rating or years of service is an applicable
factor in qualifying a member of the uniformed services for future
promotion, such member who is being reappointed or reenlisted pur-
suant to this section shall, for the purpose of placement on a lineal
list, promotion list, or other similar list, be given such seniority in
rank, grade, or rating or be credited with such years of service as may
be authorized by the Secretary concerned. Action under this subsec-
tion shall be taken on a fair and equitable basis, and regard shall be
given to the probable opportunities for advancement and promotion
to which such member might reasonably have become entitled but for
placement of his name upon the temporary disability retired list.
