Active Status List (ASL) reservists may be ordered to active duty when not enough on the ASL are available; they may not train for points, are not eligible for promotion, and do not accrue credit for qualifying years of service.

• A. Reservists on the ASL may be ordered to active duty when not enough on the ASL are available.
• B. ASL personnel are eligible for automatic promotion during active duty.
• C. ASL personnel accrue credit for qualifying years while on ASL.
• D. ASL personnel train for points every quarter.

Answer: (A)

ASL reservists are kept ready to be called up to active duty to cover shortages when there aren’t enough people on the Active Status List. That’s why the statement about them being ordered to active duty when the ASL isn’t enough captures how this pool is used in practice. When activated in this way, they do not train for points, they are not eligible for promotion, and they do not accrue credit for qualifying years of service. The other ideas conflict with these rules: automatic promotion is not allowed, credit for qualifying years isn’t earned, and training for points isn’t performed.
