This law protects Reserves who are studying to become ministers at a recognized religious school. They cannot be forced onto active duty or inactive duty training while they are still preparing for the ministry there.

A Reserve member cannot be ordered to serve on active duty while they are preparing for the ministry at a recognized theological or divinity school. The same protection applies to inactive duty training: the Reserve cannot be required to participate in that either, as long as they are still studying at the school.
