10 U.S.C. § 12011 — Authorized strengths: reserve officers on active duty or on full-time National Guard duty for administration of the reserves or the National Guard
submitted 46 years ago by Pub. L. 96-513 to r/title-10-ARMED-FORCES · 971 words · no verdicts yet
This section caps how many senior reserve officers can serve full-time to run the reserves or National Guard. Tables set exact caps by component and total strength, with interpolation between rows. The Defense Secretary may raise a cap by up to 5%, with written notice to Congress.
(a) Limitations
(1) For the Army* Reserve, Army National Guard*, Marine Corps Reserve, Air Force Reserve, and Air National Guard*, this section caps how many officers in each component may serve full-time reserve duty at the ranks of major, lieutenant colonel, and colonel, at the end of any fiscal year. The exact cap depends on the component's total number of members on full-time reserve duty that year. The section includes a table for each of these components listing the allowed number of majors, lieutenant colonels, and colonels for specific total-strength levels (for example, the Army Reserve table runs from a total strength of 10,000 up to 21,000, in steps of 1,000). To find the cap for a given component and strength level, look it up in that component's table.
(2) The Navy Reserve has its own separate table. It sets caps for lieutenant commander, commander, and captain the same way, based on the Navy Reserve's total full-time strength, from 10,000 up to 24,000.
(b) Determinations by Interpolation
If the actual full-time strength falls between two numbers listed in a table, the caps for that in-between strength are found by interpolating — calculating a number proportionally between the two listed caps. If the actual strength is higher or lower than every number in the table, the Secretary concerned* sets the caps using the same proportion as the nearest number in the table.
(c) Reallocations to Lower Grades
If fewer officers are serving in a grade* than the cap allows, the unused room may be applied to increase the authorized number for any lower grade.
(d) Secretarial Waiver
(1) The Secretary of Defense may raise a fiscal year's cap for a specific grade in a component, if doing so serves the national interest. The increase cannot exceed 5% of that grade's maximum number in the table.
(2) Whenever the Secretary uses this power, the Secretary must send written notice of the change to the Senate and House Armed Services Committees.
(e) Full-Time Reserve Component Duty Defined
In this section, "full-time reserve component duty" means:
(1) Active duty* under sections 10211, 10302, 10303, 10304, 10305, 12310, or 12402 of this title.
(2) Full-time National Guard duty* (other than for training) under section 502(f) of title 32 — except duty under section 115(b)(1)(B) and (C), and section 115(i)(9), of this title.
(3) Active duty under section 708 of title 32.
Of the total number of members of a reserve component who are serving on full-time reserve component duty at the end of any fiscal year, the number of those members who may be serving in each of the grades of major, lieutenant colonel, and colonel may not, as of the end of that fiscal year, exceed the number determined in accordance with the following table:

Of the total number of members of the Navy Reserve who are serving on full-time reserve component duty at the end of any fiscal year, the number of those members who may be serving in each of the grades of lieutenant commander, commander, and captain may not, as of the end of that fiscal year, exceed the number determined in accordance with the following table:

If the total number of members of a reserve component serving on full-time reserve component duty is between any two consecutive numbers in the first column of the appropriate table in paragraph (1) or (2) of subsection (a), the corresponding authorized strengths for each of the grades shown in that table for that component are determined by mathematical interpolation between the respective numbers of the two strengths. If the total number of members of a reserve component serving on full-time reserve component duty is more or less than the highest or lowest number, respectively, set forth in the first column of the appropriate table in paragraph (1) or (2) of subsection (a), the Secretary concerned* shall fix the corresponding strengths for the grades shown in that table at the same proportion as is reflected in the nearest limit shown in the table.
Whenever the number of officers serving in any grade for duty described in subsection (a) is less than the number authorized for that grade under this section, the difference between the two numbers may be applied to increase the number authorized under this section for any lower grade.
Upon determining that it is in the national interest to do so, the Secretary of Defense may increase for a particular fiscal year the number of reserve officers that may be on full-time reserve component duty for a reserve component in a grade referred to in a table in subsection (a) by a number that does not exceed the number equal to 5 percent of the maximum number specified for the grade in that table.
Whenever the Secretary exercises the authority provided in paragraph (1), the Secretary shall submit to the Committee on Armed Services of the Senate and the Committee on Armed Services of the House of Representatives notice in writing of the adjustment made.
In this section, the term “full-time reserve component duty” means the following duty:
Active duty* described in sections 10211, 10302, 10303, 10304, 10305, 12310, or 12402 of this title.
Full-time National Guard duty* (other than for training) under section 502(f) of title 32, except for duty under section 115(b)(1)(B) and (C) of this title and section 115(i)(9) of this title.
Active duty described in section 708 of title 32.
