Within the Selected Reserve, Active Guard Reserve (AGR) soldiers serve full-time on active duty in
units and organizations that are either within the Army Reserve or that directly support it. AGR
duties are under the auspices of the USC Title 10, working in federal level jobs. Also within the
Selected Reserve, the Individual Mobilization Augmentees (IMAs) are assigned to high-level
headquarters where they would serve if mobilized. Most IMA positions generally require two
weeks of annual training.
IRR soldiers are primarily prior-service members with two or more years of Active Duty who may
be called upon to replace service members in Active and Reserve units. IRR are neither assigned to
a unit nor part of the IMA. The Retired Reserves are former Army National Guard, Reserve, and
Active soldiers who remain part of the Army Reserve, but in a retired status.
As of February 18, 2004, 184,132 National Guardsmen and Reservists on active duty support the
Global War on Terror and other missions in 120 countries. The Army National Guard and Reserve
activation total 155,838, Naval Reserve 2,238, Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve, 19,820,
Marine Corps Reserve, 5,614 and the Coast Guard Reserve, 1,162. The Army inclusive of the
