European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - November 21, 1985, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Page 4 the stars and stripes thursday november 21,1985 inactive reservists get Active duty edict by Norman Buck a military writer Washington a despite initial misgivings by the military services the Pentagon s Deputy Secretary has decided to order More than 450,000 inactive reservists to serve a minimum of one Day a year on Active duty. A directive signed two weeks ago by Deputy defense Secretary William h. Taft in and disclosed on tuesday specifies that the mandatory Call ups will begin during the 1987 fiscal year which starts next oct. 1. Although final details must be worked out. Pentagon officials expect the army Navy Marine corps and air Force to spread the Call ups throughout the year rather than specifying a single mass Muster. Members of the so called individual ready Reserve who ignore their Call up orders will be subject to disciplinary action including the possibility of receiving a Les than honorable discharge. The Overall goal of the program which was advocated strenuously by James h. Webb the assistant defense Secretary for Reserve affairs is to determine whether the men and women in the Irr Are really prepared to re Spond to mobilization orders in the event of War. Webb has said he is positive the program will cause bad publicity for the military because tens of thousands of the reservists can no longer be located by mail and hundreds of thousands were placed in the Irr because of disciplinary problems or hardship. Nonetheless he adds such problems must be corrected during peacetime because during the Early Days of any conflict the Irr will stand As the Pentagon s sole Pool of trained manpower. Webb who disclosed tall s decision during an inter View tuesday said the annual one Day musters would Cost an estimated $61 million. He said Taft and defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger arc now backing the pro Gram and will include a request for the funding in the fiscal 1987 budget. Our main goal is to get our arms around the prob  Webb said adding that the decision required no new Laws or regulations. This is nothing More than improved management efficiency of a very precious asset. I can t overemphasize How important it is to be Able to gauge our manpower flow in a  Webb stressed that reservists had no reason to fear Long recalls or interruptions to their civilian careers. On the other hand he said the reservists need to be re minded that they still have a military obligation and the services need to ascertain if they arc still in Good physical condition have retained their military skills and can mobilize quickly. The Irr consists of men and women who have been trained and served in the military but who upon leaving Active duty do not move into a regular Reserve or National guard unit. As a result such individuals do not Drill regularly with a military unit and receive no pay but they Are subject to the same obligations As their Reserve and National guard counterparts and can be recalled to duty in the event of War. There arc now roughly 457,000 men and women in the individual ready Reserve compared with 2.1 million men and women on Active duty and 1.05 million in the selected Reserve which consists of the regular Reserve and National guard units. In the event of a War the selected Reserve units would move out with their Active duty counterparts. Webb acknowledged tuesday it had taken a six month educational process to win support for the mandatory musters. There were a lot of hesitations with the Media implications he said. The army with the largest number of Irr reservists was particularly vocal in its opposition at first Webb said.
