Después de leer esta hoja informativa, por favor llame a la Línea directa (877-447-4487) para hablar de sus opciones con un consejero.
Hay muchos tipos de servicio a los que un reservista puede ser mandado a presentarse, entre ellos el servicio activo para el entrenamiento, las instrucciones inactivas (drills), el entrenamiento anual, las asambleas (muster), una movilización y un despliegue. Los miembros de la National Guard también pueden ser mandados al servicio activo durante las emergencias estatales sin que el gobierno federal les mande al servicio activo (es decir, bajo el Título 10, las fuerzas armadas, del Código de los EEUU). Los consejeros de la Línea directa de los derechos de los militares (GI Rights Hotline, 877-447-4487) pueden ofrecer una consulta gratuita y confidencial sobre cualquiera de dichos asuntos.
Desde la fecha en que un reservista es obligado a presentarse al servicio activo por una orden bajo el Título 10 del Código de los EEUU, dicho reservista se encuentra bajo jurisdicción del UCMJ (el Código Uniforme de la Justicia Militar) y puede ser castigado por cualquier ausencia sin permiso de dicha fecha en adelante. Sin embargo, muchas ausencias que podrían ser castigadas bajo el UCMJ nunca son castigadas por un consejo de guerra ni incurren en un castigo no judicial. Los consejeros de la Línea directa pueden ayudarle a enterarse de las consecuencias posibles y probables de la ausencia sin permiso de un reservista. Hay algunas clases de ausencias especiales tratadas a continuación.

ENCLOSURE 3
RESERVE PARTICIPATION ...
3. Unsatisfactory Participation
a. SELRES (Other than Commissioned Officers)
Comentario: "SELRES" significa la Selected Reserve (las reservas elegidas), que tienen que asistir a "drills" (instrucciones) y entenamientos anuales. "MSO" significa Military Service Obligation (obligación del servicio militar), la cual es especificada por su contrato de alistamiento.
(1) SELRES Members Who Have Not Fulfilled Their MSO. Members of the SELRES who have not fulfilled their statutory MSO pursuant to Reference (d) and whose participation has been unsatisfactory may be processed, at the discretion of the Secretary concerned or the Commandant of the USCG, as follows:
(a) Ordered to AD, if those SELRES members have not served on AD for a total of 24 months, for a period of time deemed necessary by the Secretary concerned or the Commandant of the USCG pursuant to section 12303 of Reference (f) and authorized by Executive Order 11366 (Reference (k)). Such individuals may be required to serve on AD until their total AD service equals 24 months. To achieve fair treatment among Service members who are being considered for AD under this section, appropriate consideration will be given to family responsibilities. In addition, the Service member’s civilian employment will be considered if their absence jeopardizes the ability to maintain national health, safety, or interest.
(b) Ordered to ADT, regardless of the length of prior AD, for a period of not more than 45 days pursuant to section 10148 of Reference (f). Members of the ARNGUS or the ANGUS may be ordered to AD under section 10148 of Reference (f) only upon request of the governor of the State concerned or, in the case of the District of Columbia (DC), the Commanding General of the DC NG.
(c) Transferred to the IRR for the balance of their statutory MSO when the Secretary concerned or the Commandant of the USCG determines that if mobilized the individual still possesses the potential for useful military service.
(d) Discharged, if an enlisted Service member, for unsatisfactory performance in the Ready Reserve, pursuant to section 7 in Enclosure 3 of DoDI 1332.14 (Reference (l)).
Comentario: La National Guard (NG) y la Air National Guard (ANG) están dentro de la jurisdicción de los estados además de la de las fuerzas armadas y algunos estados a veces imponen castigos en casos en los cuales no lo hacen las fuerzas armadas (o castigos adicionales además de los que imponen las fuerzas armadas). Llame a la Línea directa de los derechos de los militares o comuníquese con una agencia de la Red de los derechos de los militares.
(2) SELRES Members Who Have Fulfilled their MSO. Members of the SELRES who have fulfilled their statutory MSO pursuant to Reference (d) and whose participation has been unsatisfactory may be processed, at the discretion of the Secretary concerned or the Commandant of the USCG, as follows:
(a) Transferred to the IRR or the Standby Reserve inactive status for the balance of their current enlistment when the Secretary concerned or the Commandant of the USCG has determined that if mobilized the Service member still has potential for useful military service.
(b) Processed for administrative discharged, if an enlisted Service member, for unsatisfactory performance pursuant to Reference (l).
(3) Enlisted SELRES Members Ordered to ADT

Comentario: Las IRR (reservas listas individuales) no asisten a "drills" (instrucciones), pero tienen que informar anualmente de sus datos personales actuales, entre ellos el estado de su salud.

(2) Members of the IRR who have not fulfilled their MSO, pursuant to Reference (d), who were enlisted or appointed under any program where the MSO may be fulfilled by military service in the IRR, and whose participation in such a program has not been satisfactory, will be designated as unsatisfactory participants. At the discretion of the Secretary concerned or the Commandant of the USCG, IRR members with unsatisfactory participation may be processed, as follows:
