Ordering the Selected Reserve of the Armed Forces to Active Duty

What it means

Authorizes the Secretary of Defense to call up to 200 military reservists to active duty for up to 365 days to support the "Enhanced Department of Defense Counternarcotic Operation in the Western Hemisphere." This allows the military to supplement regular forces with reserve personnel for drug interdiction operations.

Expected impact

• Strengthens military counter-drug operations in the Western Hemisphere by providing additional personnel resources
• Enhances the Department of Defense's ability to combat narcotics trafficking with specialized reserve personnel
• Demonstrates increased commitment to addressing drug trafficking threats at their source before reaching U.S. borders
• Creates greater operational flexibility for military commanders managing counter-drug missions
