10 U.S.C. § 518 — Temporary enlistments

submitted 58 years ago by Pub. L. 90-235 to r/title-10-ARMED-FORCES · 28 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

Temporary enlistments are allowed only in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Space Force, or Coast Guard. Whichever branch it is, the enlistment happens without naming a specific component, like Reserve or active duty.

This section limits where temporary enlistments can happen and how they are recorded. A person may only make a temporary enlistment in one of these branches: the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Space Force, or Coast Guard. When someone enlists temporarily, the enlistment record does not specify a component. This means it does not say whether the person is joining, for example, the active-duty force or the Reserve component of that branch.
