File: 970207_aadct_003.txtMEDICAL LES.SONS LEARNED DESERT SHIELD/STORM CATEGORY: MANPOWER AND PERSONNEL ISSUE ITEM #: SUBJECT: Reserve Augmentation Regulations BACKGROUND: The guidance on exemptions and delays was inconsistent. OSD issued guidance which was at odds with Air Force guidance as put forth in AFR 28-5. The impact of exemptions was not fully understood. . DISCUSSION: The guidance for delays and exemptions should be the same for all services and for both active and reserve members. (The pregnancy policy was different in the Air Force between the active and reserve). The exemption policy in AFR 28-5 is based on the assumption that a member of the Selected Reserve can never have a valid reason to be fully excused from a recall. ACTION RECOMMENDED: AFR 28-5 should be revised as necessary to provide consistent guidelines that recognize changing environments and needs of the services. Exemption should not mean automatic release from reserve program. SUGGESTED OPR(s), OCR(s): OPRs - XO, REO, REM OCRs - AFRES AND ARPC COL KOENIGSBERG [(b)(2)]
