Reserve Component Personnel Issues:Questions and AnswersUpdated June 15, 2020Congressional Research Servicehttps://crsreports.congress.govRL30802

Reserve Component Personnel Issues: Questions and AnswersSummaryThe Constitution provides Congress with broad powers over the Armed Forces, including thepower to “to raise and support Armies,” “to provide and maintain a Navy,” “to make Rules for theGovernment and Regulation of the land and naval Forces” and “to provide for organizing,arming, and disciplining the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed inthe Service of the United States.” In the exercise of this constitutional authority, Congress hashistorically shown great interest in various issues that bear on the vitality of the reservecomponents, such as funding, equipment, and personnel policy. This report is designed to providean overview of key reserve component personnel issues.The term “Reserve Component” refers collectively to the seven individual reserve components ofthe Armed Forces: the Army National Guard of the United States, the Army Reserve, the NavyReserve, the Marine Corps Reserve, the Air National Guard of the United States, the Air ForceReserve, and the Coast Guard Reserve. The purpose of these seven reserve components, ascodified in law at 10 U.S.C. §10102, is to “provide trained units and qualified persons availablefor active duty in the armed forces, in time of war or national emergency, and at such other timesas the national security may require, to fill the needs of the armed forces whenever more units andpersons are needed than are in the regular components.”During the Cold War era, the reserve components were a manpower pool that was rarely used.From 1945 to 1989, reservists were involuntarily activated by the federal government four times,an average of less than once per decade. Since the end of the Cold War, the nation has relied moreheavily on the reserve components. Reservists have been involuntarily activated for contingencyoperations by the federal government seven times since 1990, including large-scale mobilizationsfor the Persian Gulf War (1990-1991) and in the aftermath of the September 11 terrorist attacks(2001-present). Additionally, starting in FY2014, the Services began involuntarily activatingreservists under a new authority for pre-planned missions in support of Combatant Commanders.This report provides insight to reserve component personnel issues through a series of questionsand answers that address How reserve component personnel are organized (questions 2 and 4);How many people are in each of the different categories of the reservecomponent (question 3);How reserve component personnel have been and may be used (questions 1, 5, 6,7, 9, and 11); How reserve component personnel are compensated (questions 8 and 10);The types of legal protections that exist for reserve component personnel(question 12); and Recent changes in reserve component pay and benefits made by Congress(question 13).Congressional Research Service

Reserve Component Personnel Issues: Questions and Answers1. What Is the Reserve Component? What IsIts Purpose?The term “Reserve Component” (RC) refers collectively to the seven individual reservecomponents of the Armed Forces: the Army National Guard of the United States, the ArmyReserve, the Navy Reserve, the Marine Corps Reserve, the Air National Guard of the UnitedStates, the Air Force Reserve, and the Coast Guard Reserve. The purpose of these seven reservecomponents, as codified in law, is to “provide trained units and qualified persons available foractive duty in the armed forces, in time of war or national emergency, and at such other times asthe national security may require, to fill the needs of the armed forces whenever more units andpersons are needed than are in the regular components.”1 The Army National Guard and the AirNational Guard also have a state role: operating under the control of their governor, they respondto various domestic emergencies, such as disasters and civil disorders. (For more information onthe difference between the National Guard and other reserve components, see questions 5 and 11.)2. What Are the Different Categories of Reservists?All individual reservists, whether members of the Reserve or the National Guard, 2 are assigned toone of three major reserve categories: the Ready Reserve, the Standby Reserve, or the RetiredReserve. Reservists who are assigned to the Ready Reserve are further assigned to one of its threesub-components: the Selected Reserve, the Individual Ready Reserve (IRR), or the InactiveNational Guard (ING). The differences between each of these categories are explained below.The Ready ReserveThe Ready Reserve is the primary manpower pool of the reserve components. Members of theReady Reserve will usually be called to active duty before members of the Standby Reserve3 orthe Retired Reserve. The Ready Reserve comprises the Selected Reserve, the Individual ReadyReserve, and the Inactive National Guard, each of which is described below.The Selected ReserveThe Selected Reserve contains those units and individuals within the Ready Reserve designatedas so essential to initial wartime missions that they have priority over all other Reserves. 4Members of the Selected Reserve are generally required to perform one weekend of training eachmonth (inactive duty for training or IDT, also known colloquially as weekend drill) and two110 U.S.C. §10102.2For a discussion of the distinction between the Reserve and the National Guard, see questions 5 and 11.Units and members of the Standby Reserve may be involuntarily ordered to active duty under the provisions of 10U.S.C. §12301(a) [see question 9, Full Mobilization, for a description of this authority]; however, 10 U.S.C. 12306(b)specifies that “No unit in the Standby Reserve organized to serve as a unit or any member thereof may be ordered toactive duty under Section 12301(a) of this title, unless the Secretary concerned, with the approval of the Secretary ofDefense in the case of a Secretary of a military department, determines that there are not enough of the required kindsof units in the Ready Reserve that are readily available.” A similar provision applies to members of the StandbyReserve not assigned to a unit.34Department of Defense Instruction 1215.06, Uniform Reserve, Training and Retirement Categories for the ReserveComponent, March 11, 2014 (Incorporating Change 1, May 19, 2015), p. 23, ssuances/dodi/121506p.pdf .Congressional Research Service1

Reserve Component Personnel Issues: Questions and Answersweeks of training each year (annual training or AT) for which they receive pay and benefits.Some members of the Selected Reserve perform considerably more military duty than this, whileothers may only be required to perform the two weeks of annual training each year or othercombinations of time. 5 Members of the Selected Reserve can be involuntarily ordered to activeduty under each of the main activation authorities (for example, Full Mobilization, PartialMobilization, and Presidential Reserve Call-up; see question 9 for more information on activationauthorities).The Individual Ready ReserveThe Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) is a manpower pool primarily composed of individuals whohave already received military training, either in the Active Component or in the SelectedReserve. 6 By law, members of the IRR may be required to perform regular training, but theDepartment of Defense does not currently require this. 7 Members of the IRR can volunteer fortraining or active duty assignments, and they can also be involuntarily ordered to active dutyunder a Full Mobilization, Partial Mobilization, or a Disaster Response Activation. There is also acategory of the IRR that can be activated during a Presidential Reserve Call-up, but at presentthere is no one assigned to this category. (See question 9 for more information on these activationauthorities.) There is no IRR in the Army National Guard or the Air National Guard, althoughthere is an analogous category in the Army National Guard known as the Inactive National Guard(see “The Inactive National Guard,” immediately below).The Inactive National GuardThe Inactive National Guard (ING) is, for practical purposes, the National Guard equivalent ofthe IRR. It comprises those members of the Army National Guard who are in an inactive status;currently there is no ING for the Air National Guard. They do not participate in training as domembers of the Selected Reserve; however, they are attached to a specific National Guard unitand are required to meet with the unit once a year. 8 Members of the ING can be involuntarilyordered to active duty if the unit they are attached to is activated under a Partial Mobilization, or aFull Mobilization. They are not subject to activation under a Presidential Reserve Call-up. 9 (Seequestion 9 for more information on these activation authorities.)The Standby ReserveThe Standby Reserve comprises those individuals who have a temporary disability or hardshipand those who hold key defense related positions in their civilian jobs. 10 While in the StandbyReserve, reservists are not required to participate in military training and are subject to5For example, members of the Selected Reserve often volunteer to perform extra duty, while some members of theIndividual Mobilization Augmentee (IMA) program may only perform two weeks of training per year. Other membersof the IMA program may be required to perform IDT as well, but typically perform it during weekdays rather than onweekends.6Department of Defense Instruction 1215.06, p. 26.710 U.S.C. §10147.Department of Defense Instruction 1215.06, p. 27.89Department of Defense Instruction 1235.13, Administration and Management of the Individual Ready Reserve(IRR)and the Inactive National Guard (ING), October 18, 2013, p. 15, ssuances/dodi/123513p.pdf .10Department of Defense Instruction 1215.06, p. 28.Congressional Research Service2

Reserve Component Personnel Issues: Questions and Answersinvoluntary activation only in the case of a full mobilization. (See question 9 for moreinformation on these activation authorities.)The Retired ReserveThe Retired Reserve includes (1) Reserve officers and enlisted personnel who are receivingretired pay as a result of their reserve and/or active service; and (2) Reserve officers and enlistedpersonnel who transfer into the Retired Reserve after qualifying for reserve retirement, but beforebecoming eligible to receive retired pay (which normally occurs at age 60). 11 Regular officers andenlisted personnel who are receiving retired pay are not included in the Retired Reserve.Members of the Retired Reserve may be involuntarily ordered to active duty in the event of a fullmobilization, and some members of the Retired Reserve may be ordered to active duty in theevent of a recall of retirees. (See “9. How Are Reservists Called to Active Duty by the FederalGovernment?” for more information on activation authorities.)3. How Many People Are in theReserve Component?As of September 30, 2019, the total reported personnel strength of the Ready Reserve was1,038,198. Table 1 breaks down this figure by service and category of reservist. In addition, thereare about 8,000 members of the Standby Reserve and about 783,000 members of the RetiredReserve, although these categories of reservists are much less likely to be mobilized than ReadyReservists. 12 Additionally, a substantial percentage of the Retired Reserve would likely be unableto mobilize due to age and fitness.Table 1.

Reserve Component Personnel Issues: Questions and AnswersAlthough the Reserves have been used extensively in support of operations since September 11,2001, the overall authorized end-strength of the Selected Reserve declined by about 6% between2001 and 2019 (874,664 for FY2001 versus 824,700 for FY2019).13 The largest reduction inauthorized end-strength occurred in the Navy Reserve (-29,800 or -33.5%), while smallerreductions occurred in the Coast Guard Reserve (-1,000 or -12.5%), Air Force Reserve (-4,358 or-5.9%), Army Reserve (-5,800 or -2.8%), Marine Corps Reserve (-1,058 or -2.7%), ArmyNational Guard (-7,026 or -2.0%), and Air National Guard (-922 or -0.9%). 144. What Does “Full-time Support” Mean? What Arethe Different Categories of Full-time Support for theReserve Components?Reserve units are primarily filled by traditional reservists: members of the Selected Reserve whoare usually required to work one weekend a month and two weeks a year. However, most reserveunits are also staffed by one or more full-time civilian and/or military employees. Theseemployees, known as full-time support (FTS) personnel, are “assigned to organize; administer;instruct; recruit and train; maintain supplies, equipment and aircraft; and perform other functionsrequired on a daily basis in the exe
