  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.
