The Inactive Reserve is described as which of the following?

• A. A list of reservists not currently in active status but available for recall.
• B. A list of personnel who are fully retired.
• C. A list of new enlistees.
• D. A list of overseas assignments.

Answer: (A)

The Inactive Reserve refers to reservists who are not currently in active status but are available for recall. They remain part of the Navy Reserve and can be brought back to active duty if the need arises, rather than being fully retired or serving as new enlistees or overseas personnel. This status balances keeping trained personnel in reserve with the ability to mobilize them quickly when required.
