Can Lawyers or Veterans or others help me understand what this means. Should I be concerned that Biden is preparing us for war?

My guess is he’s calling up specific MOS personnel.

I’ll tell you what it means. It means no size restrictions, and screw the limit.

It means we’re getting ready to go in to Ukraine with our own troops as we head into 2024 election season.

He’s not calling anybody up. His staff if calling them up. He’s probably in bed or getting changed for bed.

No one is wondering if old Joe is going to get us into WWIII to protect his boy - because he needs the Presidency to Protect his boy, and himself.

He has stopped at nothing.

Federal Raids to get his daughter’s diary.

The US has:

Active Duty personnel

Reservists that are under federal command.

National Guard that are under state command unless activated by the President and put under federal command.

Inactive Ready Reserve...you finished your enlistment, but you still have a couple of years(usually 2) where you can be called back into service at any time

So, he’s putting 3000 troops on Active Duty to be deployed somewhere in Eastern Europe, it would appear. You know, to protect NATOs and Europe’s, Eastern Flank because they can’t do it themselves, obviously. So, they get to keep on living their socialist lives, under the security blanket provided by US personnel.

I’ve never heard of “Operation Atlantic Resolve”. When was that launched?

American troops fighting Russia in Ukraine? Sure, why not?
Just a couple steps short of total nuclear war and the end of everything. No more worries about stolen elections, or the national debt, or making the house payment. Where are the adults in this administration?!

A selective call up of reserve specialists is fairly common when unexpected new demands are made on the active military force. After the end of the Cold War, for cost reasons, many military specialist units were deactivated and their members moved to the reserve forces. My guess is that the Ukraine war has led to a need for more intelligence, logistics, trainers, and language specialists, so reserves are being called up. If the military anticipated that war was imminent, then you would see a broad call up of combat specialists.

Yes, that is exactly what it means.

No. The ready reserves are support. When the US sends hardware abroad, someone has to look after it. The increased NATO efforts to support Ukraine requires more staff.

“Atlantic Resolve”

The distance from the westernmost point in Ukraine to the Atlantic Ocean is 1,864 miles.

Maybe selected means all transgenders are to report for duty.

Obvious next step in escalation. This imbecile is replaying LBJ’s disastrous policy of gradual escalation in VietNam, hoping he could go to war gradually and no one would notice. Better buckle up, he’s dragging us closer every day.

It sounds like they are just filing gaps for certain specialties.

They set up a special command to manage support and training for the Ukrainians - a function that did not exist before. That has to be manned, and those folks likely just serve 3-6 months tours, before they have to be replaced.

So they grab a lot of individuals from here and there to staff it up, and need some flexibility to keep all the holes filled. Depending on what missions they have, they might need an unusual mix of skills (e.g. explosives storage specialists, tank gunnery trainers, customs inspectors, etc.) and have to reach through the Reserves and IRR (non-drilling Reservists) to find each and every type of specialist.

3,000 total is not that much, as compared to the amount of gear to be moved, training programs to conduct, and new headquarters to staff; just to provide the Ukraine the kind of stuff that has been going.

We do this kind of thing for every major Operation, where temporary structures are established, like feeding the Kurds under Saddam’s no-fly zone, or training the Afghan National Army.

My hunch is these reservists are not combat troops.

These are people with special training to help dismantle and extract the numerous bioweapons operations the Pentagon has been running in Ukraine for a long time.

The U.S. military sees the Russians are going to wipe out Ukraine’s military so there will be a major effort to clean up the crimes against humanity financed and operated by the United States military in Ukraine BEFORE THE U.S. CAN BE HELD CRIMINALLY LIABLE and those Americans directly responsible for it can be tried and hanged.
