10 U.S.C. § 20102 — Individual ready guardians: designation; mobilization category

Among members of the Space Force designated as Individual Ready Guardians, there is a category of members (referred to as a “mobilization category”) who, as designated by the Secretary of the Air Force, are subject to being ordered to active duty^* without their consent in accordance with section 20106(a) of this title.

A member designated as an Individual Ready Guardian may not be placed in the mobilization category referred to in paragraph (1) unless—

A member of the Space Force in a space force active status^* may not remain designated an Individual Ready Guardian in such mobilization category after the end of the 24-month period beginning on the date of the separation of the member from active service^*.

The Secretary of the Air Force shall designate the grades and military skills or specialties of members to be eligible for placement in such mobilization category.

A member in such mobilization category shall be eligible for benefits (other than pay^* and training) on the same basis as are available to members of the Individual Ready Reserve who are in the special mobilization category under section 10144(b) of this title, as determined by the Secretary of Defense.
