  1.  @cb5513  Tarl is wrong. The OP is wrong. You're wrong. It's important to read the order and understand what it being said within it. The order mentions DHS and the CG because they're not under DOD. A small portion of the 3000 reservists being activated here might be members of the Coast Guard Reserve or they were recently separated CG vets on IRR.

  2. The order did mention the DOD, and the CG is still part of the armed forces even though they're under the DHS.

  3. First of all, if Tarl or anyone else read the order, you'd know that it's not just the CG that got activated here. It is 3000 reservists from all different branches. The CG reservists going over there will be used for port security or inspecting cargo ship containers filled with supplies. They aren't going anywhere near an active combat zone.

  4. The CG doesn't just "guard the coast." lol

  5. They're still under the DHS. The only time they operate under the DOD is during a time of declared war.

  6. Tarl didn't read the order, and doesn't know anything about the military and how it functions. He's just talking BS right now, and looking like a dumb, weak hippie doing it. Brandon ordered 3000 select and inactive ready reservists from all military branches onto active duty. He only mentioned DHS and the Coast Guard because they're the only branch of the armed forces that isn't under DOD.

  8.  @Matthewt756  Yep. The Russians own the Black Sea.

  9.  @Matthew-io9iq  The order stated no more than 450 IRR. Even if they activate 450 IRR, that's only 0.1% of the entire IRR. So to say "the IRR got brought in" is not accurate at all. What this means to someone who actually understands the way the military operates is this: the allotment of 450 IRR contained within the order is designed to give leadership in that theatre the ability to stop-loss essential active duty members who are due to get off active duty in the near future. So, it will likely be people who are currently active duty and already in Poland or wherever they have their main presence for Atlantic Resolve. It will be personnel who are essential to the current US mission over there and already know what's going on, which is mostly training, logistics, intel, spec ops, etc.

  10. This is hyperbole.

  11. You're not entirely correct either, pal. There are over 200,000 people from all different service branches on IRR. Almost every enlistment in the military is an eight year contract with four of that eight required as active duty. The last four years, you're basically a civilian who has a remote possibility of getting reactivated (that's IRR). Brandon mobilized 3000 members of the reserve from all different service branches, some of whom are select reservists and some who are on IRR. But the order specifically stated that no more than 450 will be IRR. Brandon mentioned the DOD and the DHS because the Coast Guard is the only branch of the armed forces that's under DHS.

  12. ​ @cb5513  "I hereby authorize the Secretary of Defense, and the Secretary of Homeland Security with respect to the Coast Guard when it is not operating as a service in the Navy, under their respective jurisdictions, to order to active duty any units, and any individual members not assigned to a unit organized to serve as a unit of the Selected Reserve, or any member in the Individual Ready Reserve mobilization category and designated as essential under regulations prescribed by the Secretary concerned, not to exceed 3,000 total members at any one time, of whom not more than 450 may be members of the Individual Ready Reserve, as they deem necessary, and to terminate the service of those units and members ordered to active duty." Read it. Then read it again. Then realize that you're wrong, and my numbers are correct, as much as that pains you. You basically just admitted you're going off anecdote and word of mouth, which is often wrong. The order specifically mentions the CG so it gives them the option to include CG reservists as a portion of the 3000 reservists being activated. Not all of them are IRR, only 15% of the entire activation CAN be. Selected Reserve is not IRR, which is why it specifically stated that there is a limit of 450 on IRR, even though it authorizes 3000 to be mobilized. Many of these billets will be filled by reservists who volunteer to activate themselves and go on active duty. Military reservists do that all the time. And even if 450 IRRs are involuntarily mobilized, that is less than 0.1% of the entire IRR. So no, the "IRR" isn't being "inacted." Get over it.

  14. None of these clowns know what they're talking about. It's so cringe to watch how confident people state falsehoods these days.
