The President can call up a Ready Reserve member not serving well in a unit. This applies if they haven't met their reserve duty or served 24 active months. They must serve, with enlistment extended if needed, until reaching 24 months.

(a) Despite any other law, the President can order to active duty any Ready Reserve member who: (1) isn't assigned to, or isn't participating well in, a Ready Reserve unit; (2) hasn't fulfilled their required reserve service; and (3) hasn't served a total of 24 months on active duty. (b) A member ordered up this way can be required to serve until their total active duty reaches 24 months. If their enlistment or other service period would end first, it can be extended until they finish the required time. (c) In treating Ready Reserve members fairly when deciding who serves under this section, officials must consider: (1) family responsibilities; and (2) whether the member's job is necessary for national health, safety, or interest.
