Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR) is a Department of Defense organization established to promote cooperation and understanding between service members and their civilian employers and to assist in the resolution of conflicts arising from the employee's military commitment. The ESGR Ombudsman Services Program provides neutral counseling and mediation of issues relating to compliance with the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA).

Regular Airmen and Guardians are not eligible for ESGR services. The ESGR program is designed to support service members who have military duty commitments which conflicts with employment and the resulting employment and reemployment rights as provided for by the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA).
