Is there a way to find out the specific skills they are seeking from the reserves and the ready reserves and would that be insightful?
Each SELRES Reserve branch has a personnel center responsible for advertising orders available for voluntary mobilization. That’s where you’d see requests for specific specialties. Those who receive those type orders are individual augmentees, which are different from entire Reserve units being mobilized.
The policy was just declared today. The DOD has to send out directives which gets passed down the chain. There are exemptions in the Ready Reserve program, so who is called up and who is deployed gets bureaucratic. Maybe write your Representative or Senators?
