Which reserve category includes members who may be recalled but are not in Ready Reserve or Retired Reserve?

• A. Standby Reserve.
• B. Ready Reserve.
• C. Retired Reserve.
• D. Active Duty.

Answer: (A)

Reserve categories define how quickly a member can be recalled. Standby Reserve is the group for people who aren’t in the Ready Reserve or Retired Reserve but could still be recalled if mobilization is needed. They remain on the rolls and can be brought back to active duty, whereas Ready Reserve members are already in a state where they can be recalled on short notice; Retired Reserve members are retired but subject to recall; Active Duty is full-time service, not a reserve category.
