110 STAT. 2696
PUBLIC LAW 104-201—SEPT. 23, 1996
involuntary recall at any time to active duty of units and
individuals for up to 15 days per year.
(2) The recommendations of the 1995 report of the RAND
Corporation entitled "Assessing the State and Federal Missions
of the National Guard", as follows:
(A) That Federal law be clarified and amended to
authorize Presidential use of the Federal reserves of all
military services for domestic emergencies and disasters
without any time constraint.
(B) That the Secretary of Defense develop and support
establishment of an appropriate national level compact for
interstate sharing of resources, including the domestic
capabilities of the national guards of the States, during
emergencies and disasters.
(C) That Federal level contingency stocks be created
to support the National Guard in domestic disasters.
(D) That Federal funding and regulatory support be
provided for Federal-State disaster emergency response
planning exercises.
(c) MATTERS RELATED TO PRESIDENTIAL RESERVE CALL-UP
AUTHORITY. — The report under this section shall specifically address
matters related to the authority of the President to activate for
service on active duty units and members of reserve components
under sections 12301, 12302, and 12304 of title 10, United States
Code, including—
(1) whether such authority is adequate to meet the full
range of reserve component missions for the 21st century,
particularly with regard to the time periods for which
such units and members may be on active duty under those
authorities and the ability to activate both units and individual
members; and
(2) whether the three-tiered set of statutory authorities
(under such sections 12301, 12302, and 12304) should be
consolidated, modified, or in part eliminated in order to facilitate current and future use of Reserve units and individual
reserve component members for a broader range of missions,
and, if so, in what manner.
(d) MATTERS RELATED TO RELEASE FROM ACTIVE DUTY.— The
report under this section shall include findings and recommendations (based upon a review of current policies and procedures)
concerning procedures for release from active duty of units and
members of reserve components who have been involuntarily called
or ordered to active duty under section 12301, 12302, or 12304
of title 10, United States Code, with specific recommendations
concerning the desirability of statutory provisions to—
(1) establish specific guidelines for when it is appropriate
(or inappropriate) to retain on active duty such reserve component units when active component units are available to perform the mission being performed by the reserve component
unit;
(2) minimize the effects of frequent mobilization of the
civilian employers, as well as the effects of frequent mobilization
on recruiting and retention in the reserve components; and
(3) address other matters relating to the needs of such
members of reserve components, their employers, and (in the
case of such members who own businesses) their employees,
while such members are on active duty.
