(reference (a)).   The normal period of time that personnel
are allowed to remain in the ING is one year or less.

6.1.3.  Except for members awaiting initial AD for training
or participating in an entry program, only those members
whose prior service has been satisfactory shall be retained
in the IRR.

6.1.4.  Members may transfer from the IRR to the Standby
Reserve, and from the Standby Reserve to the IRR, if
qualified.

6.1.5.  Specific exceptions for placement in the IRR

points each anniversary year to be retained in the Ready
Reserve unless waived as specified in DoD Directive
1200.15 (reference (g)).   Specific procedures about
members of the IRR with over twenty years of qualifying
service for retirement under Chapter 1223 of reference
(d) are in reference (g).

6.2.  Training of the IRR 

6.2.1.  All members of the IRR may be required to serve
on Active Duty for Training (ADT) up to thirty days

attendance at organized and planned specialized skill,
professional development, refresher, and proficiency
training.   Authorization for ADT shall be managed IAW
regulations established by the Secretary concerned,
which shall provide that IRR training funds may only
be used to enhance or refresh existing skills that plans
indicate shall be required for support of military operations
or mobilization.   Emphasis shall be placed on training
those most likely to be needed during the first thirty
days after mobilization.

6.2.3.  Active Duty for Special Work (ADSW) is authorized
for IRR members for projects or operations supporting
Active or Reserve programs, when such duties are essential
to the Armed Forces.   ADSW shall be managed IAW DoD
Directive 1215.6 (reference (b)) and DoD Instruction
1215.19 (reference (c)).

in the various ranks, grades, ratings, and specialties.

6.3.1.3.  Are immediately available for mobilization
as specified in Sections 12301(a) and 12302 of reference
(d), or as may be required by other provisions of law.

6.3.2.  The Secretaries of the Military Departments
shall establish procedures to ensure the continuous
screening of the IRR.   The following screening methods
are acceptable:

6.3.2.1.  A member may be screened while on AD, ADT,
or full-time training duty in pursuit of another purpose.

6.3.2.2.  A member may be ordered to muster duty, with
or without the member's consent, IAW 10 U.S.C. 12319
(reference (d)).

6.3.2.3.  Members not screened during any annual period
on AD, ADT, or other full-time training duty, or who
are exempted from muster duty, shall be screened by
mail.

6.3.3.  Exemptions from an in-person IRR screening (muster)
are authorized, as follows:

6.3.3.1.  Members identified under the process described
in subsection 4.10. of DoD Directive 1235.13 (reference
(a)), as not required in terms of skill or grade category
may be exempt.

6.3.3.2.  Members of the IRR may be exempted during
the fiscal year (FY) in which they are scheduled for
discharge from military service.

6.3.3.3.  The Secretary of the Military Department concerned
may establish specific geographical limitations on travel
to IRR muster duty.

6.3.3.4.  The Secretary of the Military Department concerned
may exempt officer personnel in pay grade 0-4 and higher;
warrant officers; and, senior noncommissioned officers
in pay grade E-8 and higher, if they have no remaining
MSO and if other methods exist for ensuring that the
requirements in paragraph 6.3.1., above, are met.

6.3.3.5.  The Secretary of the Military Department concerned
may establish a policy to exempt IRR members from muster
duty if those members were successfully screened in
person during the FY immediately preceding the current
FY.

6.3.3.6.  Personnel participating in officer training
programs, members in the Armed Forces Health Professions
Financial Assistance Programs, members in training,
or awaiting training, in a Delayed Entry Program or
Delayed Entry Training program for Active or Reserve
component service are exempted from the screening requirement.

6.3.3.7.  Personnel gained to the IRR during the current
FY.

6.3.4.  If muster duty is used for screening, the following
procedures apply:

6.3.4.1.  A member on such muster duty shall be engaged
for at least two hours on the day of muster in the performance
of that duty.

6.3.4.2.  The period allowed for muster duty, including
round-trip travel, shall not total more than one day
each calendar year.

6.3.4.3.  Muster duty shall be treated as the equivalent
of the IDT for purposes of accountability IAW 10 U.S.C.
12319 (reference (d)), 37 U.S.C. (reference (h)), and
38 U.S.C. (reference (i)).   Muster duty shall not be
credited in determining entitlement to, or in computing,
retired pay as a member of a Uniformed Service under
any provision of reference (d), 14 U.S.C. (reference
(j)), or 42 U.S.C. (reference (k)).   No contribution
to the DoD Military Retirement Fund is required in association
with the payment of the muster allowance.

6.3.4.4.  Compensation for muster duty is, as prescribed
in section 433 of reference (h) and in the DoD 7000.14-R
(reference (l)) at the rate prescribed in the Joint
Federal Travel Regulations, Volume 1 (reference (m)).

6.3.5.  All members of the IRR shall be screened by
mail during those years in which they are exempt from
in-person screening (muster duty).   Mail screening
notifications shall include the sanctions that IRR members
may face, IAW DoD Instruction 1215.18 (reference (n)),
if they fail to provide the data requested.

6.3.6.  Failure to perform screening that the member
has been ordered to perform shall, barring unusual circumstances,
be used as a basis for determining that the member has
not participated satisfactorily in the Ready Reserve.
  Members whose participation has not been satisfactory
may be processed, in accordance with DoD Directive 1215.13
(reference (o)), reference (n), and DoD Directive 1332.14
(reference (p)).   IRR members may be retained in the
IRR for the balance of their statutory MSO, current
enlistment contract, or Service agreement, with a tentative
characterization of service, normally under other than
honorable conditions, only when the Military Department
concerned has determined that the individual still possesses
the potential for useful service under conditions of
full mobilization.

6.3.7.  The Military Services are required to maintain
the current status of each member's physical condition,
dependency status, military qualifications, civilian
occupational skills, availability for service, to include
current address, and other information as prescribed
in 6.3.7.1. through 6.3.7.4, below.   The following
information, which may be expanded by Service regulations,
is considered critical for mobilization of the Reserve
and must be kept current:

6.3.7.1.  Basic Personnel Identification Data:

6.3.7.1.1.  Name and social security number (SSN).

6.3.7.1.2.  Sex and date of birth.

6.3.7.1.3.  Pay grade, rank, and date of rank.

6.3.7.1.4.  Pay entry base date.

6.3.7.1.5.  Reserve component and Reserve component
category.

6.3.7.2.  Dependency Status:

6.3.7.2.1.  Marital status and number of dependents.

6.3.7.2.2.  SSN of spouse (if both are military members).

6.3.7.3.  Military Qualifications:

6.3.7.3.1.  Military aeronautical rating and flying

6.3.7.3.5.  Language proficiencies.

6.3.7.4.  Availability for Service:

6.3.7.4.1.  Current home address.

6.3.7.4.2.  Date of expiration of the statutory MSO.

6.3.7.4.3.  Date of expiration of current enlistment.

6.3.7.4.4.  Year and month of officer mandatory removal
date.

6.3.7.4.5.  Civilian occupation.

6.3.7.4.6.  Medical and dental status.

6.3.8.  Credential records, to include certification
and licensure, shall be reviewed for all health-care
practitioners who possess critical wartime medical skills
as determined by the Service Secretaries IAW DoD Directive
6025.13 (references (q)) and DoD Directive 6025.14 (reference
(r)).

6.3.9.  As an adjunct to muster duty, the Services shall
also maintain a process for determination of skill proficiency
degradation and, if necessary, identifying applicable
refresher training needs by skill.   A more extensive
annual screen, to include a detailed skill level assessment,
is encouraged for members with critical skills.

6.3.10.  In accordance with DoD Directive 1100.18 (reference
(s)), all screening shall cease on declaration of mobilization.
  This includes full and partial mobilization IAW 10
U.S.C. 12301(a) and 10 U.S.C. 12302 (reference (d)).
  Continuation or cessation of screening, when selective
mobilization under Presidential Selected Reserve Call-Up
Authority (Section 12304 of reference (d)) is enacted,
will be directed by the Department of Defense.

6.3.11.  Military Departments shall submit an annual
report on the IRR screening program in the format provided
at enclosure 3.   Reports are to be submitted to the
Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Reserve
Affairs (Manpower and Personnel) by December 1st.  
Report data will encompass the preceding FY.

6.3.12.  Unless exempted, all members in the categories
established as most likely to be needed in conjunction
with a contingency operation or mobilization shall be
screened in person (via muster) annually.   Additionally,
all members of the IRR in receipt of an IRR re-enlistment
bonus shall be screened in person annually.

6.4.  Administration of the Voluntary Separation Incentive
(VSI), the Special Separation Benefit (SSB), and Separation
Pay (SP) Programs

6.4.1.  The VSI, SSB, and SP programs provide periodic
or lump sum payments for certain military members who
are voluntarily or involuntarily separated from AD if
they affiliate with the Reserve IAW Sections 1174, 1174a,
and 1175 of reference (d).

6.4.1.1.  VSI payments are made on an annual basis for
an established number of years subject to the member
remaining in a Reserve component.   That service must
be in the Ready Reserve unless the member is transferred
from the Ready Reserve to the Standby Reserve (inactive
status) or the Retired Reserve through no fault of the
member concerned.   Members who are in receipt of the
VSI shall be retained in the Ready Reserve (the Selected
Reserve or the IRR) as long as they qualify for service
in the Ready Reserve.   If a member in receipt of the
VSI should become disqualified for continued service
in the Ready Reserve through no fault of the member,
that member shall be transferred to the Standby Reserve
(Inactive Status List) unless qualified for retired
pay at age sixty, under Chapter 1223 of reference (d),
in which case that member may be transferred, on application,
to the Retired Reserve.   VSI recipients who become
ineligible for retention in an active or inactive status
in a Reserve component because of age, years of service,
failure to select for promotion, or medical disability
shall be placed in the Retired Reserve, upon their request,
using Training Readiness Code “V5.”   These individuals
must be separately tracked by the appropriate Reserve
personnel management office.

6.4.1.1.1.  At the expiration of their VSI contract,
officers who have been placed in the Retired Reserve
to receive VSI payments because they were ineligible
to remain in the Ready Reserve or Standby Reserve for
reasons of age, years of service, failure to select
for promotion, or medical disability, will be separated
from the military service.   This separation is considered
a voluntary action.   The requirement in Section 12683
of reference (d) for a board of officers does not apply
to this category.

6.4.1.1.2.  The Secretary concerned is responsible for
establishing procedures to separate VSI recipients at
the expiration of their VSI contracts.

6.4.1.2.  The SSB and SP payments are subject to the
member's written agreement to serve in the Ready Reserve
for a period of not fewer than three years following
separation from AD.   If the member has an MSO that
is not completed at the time the member is separated
from AD, the three year obligation shall begin on the
day after the day the member completes such MSO.

6.4.2.  When a member of the Ready Reserve is also a
civilian employee of the U.S. Government occupying a
position that is designated as a key position, as defined
in DoD Directive 1200.7 (reference (e)), that individual
shall be designated as a key employee and considered
to be ineligible to serve in the Ready Reserve.   The
Service will transfer that individual to the Standby
Reserve where he or she shall remain for the period
of employment while filling a key position.   Benefits
received IAW 10 U.S.C. 1174, 1174a, and 1175 (reference
(d)) shall not be affected.   Once that individual,
who has received SSB, or VSI, or SP benefits, changes
civilian status to a position not designated as a key
position, he or she will be retained in the Standby
Reserve or transferred to another RC category, as appropriate,
to fulfill the service obligation incurred based on
receipt of SSB, or VSI, or SP.

6.5.  Each Military Service shall ensure that automated
pay and personnel systems and procedures are in effect
to identify and report the VSI, SSB, and SP recipients
who are required to affiliate with the Reserve.   As
a minimum, that data shall include the expiration date
of the Reserve Service obligation of each member in
receipt of the VSI.   For all members who receive the
SSB or SP, the Services shall ensure that both the Ready
Reserve obligation and the expiration date of the Ready
Reserve obligation are captured and can be reported
in automated systems.

6.6.  Each Military Service shall develop policies and
procedures to ensure that the databases of the appropriate
military manpower, personnel, and pay automated information
systems contain complete and accurate data that is needed
to recall a member of the IRR or the ING, if necessary,
to AD.   Furthermore, the processes that will be used
under these circumstances to exchange data among those
systems and to reconcile any data disparities are to
be documented and disseminated to all affected organizations.

6.7.  Each Military Service shall maintain complete
and accurate information for members of the IRR in automated
databases that are used as the source of statistical
information provided to the Defense Manpower Data Center
and to respond to inquiries.   Further, each Service
shall maintain the automated capability to facilitate
the transition of IRR members to the Selected Reserve
of any Reserve component, the Standby Reserve, or the
Retired Reserve.

DEFINITIONS

E2.1.1.  Active Duty (AD).    Full-time duty in the
active military service of the United States.   It includes
full-time training duty, annual training duty, and attendance,
while in active military service, at a school designated
as a service school by law and the Secretary of the
Military Department concerned.   It does not include
full-time National Guard duty.   For the RC, AD is comprised
of the categories ADT and ADOT.

E2.1.2.  Active Duty for Special Work (ADSW).    A tour
of AD for Reserve personnel authorized from military
or Reserve personnel appropriations for work on AC or
RC programs (ADSW-AC funded or ADSW-RC funded).   The
purpose of ADSW is to provide the necessary skilled
manpower assets to support existing or emerging requirements.
  By policy, ADSW tours are normally limited to 139
days, or less, in one fiscal year.   Tours exceeding
180 days are accountable against AC or AGR end strength
IAW 10 U.S.C. 115 (reference (d)), unless specifically
provided for in public law.   Training may occur in
the conduct of ADSW.

E2.1.3.  Active Duty for Training (ADT).    A category
of AD used to provide structured individual and/or unit
training, or educational courses to RC members.   Included
in the ADT category are AT, IADT, and OTD.   The primary
purpose of ADT is to provide individual and/or unit
readiness training, but ADT may support AC missions
and requirements; i.e., operational support, thereby
adding substance to the Total Force.

E2.1.4.  Screening.    The process of meeting the continuous
screening requirements of Section 10149 of reference
(d).   The Military Services are required to maintain
the current status of each Ready Reserve member's physical
condition, dependency status, military qualifications,
civilian occupational skills, availability for service,
and other information prescribed.   Screening may be
accomplished either through muster duty or via mail.

E2.1.5.  Inactive Duty Training (IDT).    Authorized
training performed by members of an RC not on AD, and
performed in connection with the prescribed activities
of the RC of which they are a member.   It consists
of regularly scheduled unit training periods, ATPs,
and equivalent training.   The primary purpose of IDT
is to provide individual and/or unit readiness training,
but IDT may support AC missions and requirements; i.e.,
operational support, thereby adding substance to the
Total Force.   IDT also encompasses muster duty, in
the performance of the annual screening program.

E2.1.6.  Inactive National Guard (ING).    Personnel
of the National Guard who are in an inactive status
in the Ready Reserve, not in the Selected Reserve, and
attached to a specific National Guard unit.   They do
not participate in training activities.   On partial
or full mobilization, but not a call-up under Section
12304 of reference (d), they mobilize with their unit
of assignment.   (Currently the Air National Guard of
the United States does not have an ING program.)

E2.1.7.  Individual Ready Reserve (IRR).    A manpower
pool principally consisting of individuals who have
had training and have previously served in the active
forces or in the Selected Reserve.   The IRR consists
of obligors who must fulfill their MSO under 10 U.S.C.
651 (reference (d)), and those who have fulfilled their
MSO and who voluntarily remain in the IRR.   IRR members
are subject to involuntary AD or training and fulfillment
of mobilization requirements, IAW Sections 12301(a)
and 12302 of reference (d).   Additionally, the IRR
also includes some personnel who are participating in
officer training programs or in the Armed Forces Health
Professions Financial Assistance Programs.

E2.1.8.  Military Service Obligation (MSO).    The total
required service, as prescribed by Section 651 of reference
(d), that each person who becomes a member of an Armed
Force shall serve in an Armed Force unless discharged
under regulations prescribed by the Secretary of Defense
and the Secretary concerned.

E2.1.9.  Muster Duty.    A special category of IDT that
meets the continuous screening requirement established
by Section 10149 of reference (d).   A member of the
Ready Reserve may be ordered without his or her consent
to Muster Duty one time a year by an authority designated
by the Secretary concerned IAW Section 12319 of reference
(d).   Members must participate for at least two hours
on the day of muster.   The period that a member may
be required to devote to muster duty under this definition
and to round-trip travel to and from the location of
such duty may not total more than one day each calendar
year.   Members in that status shall be treated as the
equivalent of the IDT.   Muster duty is not to be credited
in determining entitlement to, or in computing, retired
pay for non-regular service under Chapter 1223 of reference
(d).

E2.1.10.  Ready Reserve.    The Ready Reserve consists
of Reserve and Guard units and individual members, or
both, liable for AD as provided in Sections 12301 and
12302 of reference (d).   It consists of the Selected
Reserve, the IRR, and ING.

E2.1.11.  Selected Reserve.    Those units and individuals
within the Ready Reserve designated by their respective
Services and approved by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs
