he U.S. Army Publishing Directorate released the ALARACT 017/2024, titled, “Utilization of the Army Retiree Recall Program.”
The document cites Executive Order 13223 from the Bush administration in 2001.
A retiree recall is a “retired Soldier who is ordered to active duty (AD) from the Retired Reserve or the retired list under 10 USC 688/688a, 12301(a), or 12301(d). Per AR 601-10, Recalled retiree Soldiers must be aligned to a valid vacant AC requirement that matches the grade and skill of the retiree before he or she may be recalled to AD,” according to the document. “The retiree population will be utilized as a last resort to fill Active Component vacant requirements.”
The ALARACT 017/2024 comes as the U.S. military is experiencing a recruitment crisis.
The U.S. Army recently announced that it is cutting thousands of positions. Authorized troop levels will now be an estimated 470,000 by fiscal year 2029, down 24,000 from its 494,000 soldiers.
“While making these investments and adding formations, the Army must also reduce force structure to protect readiness in light of decreased end strength. The Army is currently significantly over-structured, meaning there are not enough soldiers to fill out existing units and organizations. Army leaders seek to have at least 470,000 soldiers in the Active Component by FY29, which is nearly 20,000 above the current end strength but a reduction of about 24,000 authorizations compared to currently planned force structure,” the report states.
It added that the Army is “undertaking a similarly important transformation of its recruiting enterprise so that it can man units sufficiently, continue to bring the right types and amounts of new talent into the Army, and rebuild its overall end strength.” Noting the ongoing recruitment failure within the U.S. military, the document noted, “The Army must solve its recruiting challenges to successfully transform for the future.”
Within how many years after their EAOS can they be “recalled”?
Can’t imagine more than one or two...
Hopefully, there’s a whole new crop of battle hardened men coming up through the political ranks who’ll put a stop to the current government treachery.

Wellll....
I served under jimmah cahtah....
They won’t even let us join the VFW...
At 77 years of age…tomorrow…I am outside the recall zone! Thank Heavens!
The Effeminate US Army doesn’t want the likes of this man!
I’m not “retired” (6 years total service...no pension) so I assume I can’t be recalled. But if they want a 70+ year old guy with two metal hips and a bum ticker I suppose I’ll appear where and when ordered.
Cranky much? Seems somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.

I love it when people like you assume they know what's going on based on one comment, and sticks their nose into other people's conversations. You have no freaking clue what previously transpired between myself and ansel12 on other threads on this site, so mind your own business.
