Presidential Call-up — Procedures by which the President brings all or a part of the Army
National Guard or the Air National Guard to active federal service under Title 10,
United States Code, Section 12406 and Chapter 15. See also active duty; federal
service; Presidential Reserve Call-up. (JP 4-05)
Presidential Reserve Call-up — Provision of a public law (Title 10, United States Code,
Section 12304) that provides the President a means to activate, without a declaration of
national emergency, not more than 200,000 members of the Selected Reserve and the
Individual Ready Reserve (of whom not more than 30,000 may be members of the
Individual Ready Reserve), for not more than 365 days to meet the requirements of any
operational mission. Members called under this provision may not be used for disaster
relief or to suppress insurrection. This authority has particular utility when used in
circumstances in which the escalatory national or international signals of partial or full
mobilization would be undesirable. Forces available under this authority can provide a
tailored, limited-scope, deterrent, or operational response, or may be used as a
precursor to any subsequent mobilization. Also called PRC. See also Individual
Ready Reserve; mobilization; Presidential Call-up; Selected Reserve. (JP 4-05)

prevent submerged collisions between friendly submarines, between submarines and

preventive deployment — The deployment of military forces to deter violence at the
interface or zone of potential conflict where tension is rising among parties. Forces
