Reserve med personnel top recall

ROBINS AFB, Ga. - On March 27, President Trump signed an executive order authorizing mobilization of the Reserve Component in response to COVID-19 operations. For Air Force Reserve, personnel already serving in the Selected Reserve and Participating Individual Ready Reserve, as well as those assigned to the Individual Ready Reserve, may be asked to volunteer to activate in support of COVID-19 response. If taskings exceed the volunteer pool, involuntary mobilization of the SELRES and IRR to active status is now authorized to ensure mission accomplishment. For now, medical personnel are at the top of the list to assist in U.S. Northern Command operations to contain the spread of COVID-19 and care for Americans affected.
