Duty Status Reform Act

Introduced·1/8/26

Duty Status Reform Act amends laws relating to duty performed by members of the reserve components of the Armed Forces.

The Duty Status Reform Act amends laws to redefine and consolidate authorities for ordering members of reserve components to duty. It replaces terms like "inactive duty training" with "reserve component duty" across various statutes. The act also specifies conditions for ordering members to active duty or full-time National Guard duty, including member consent requirements and exceptions. It details the purposes for which reserve component duty can be performed, such as training, support activities, and medical care.
