§20106 Orders to Active Duty: Without Consent of Member

Summary

Members of the Space Force can be ordered to active duty without their consent. If a member is in a "space force active status" and not on sustained duty, they can be called to active or inactive duty the same way Reserve members are under chapter 1209 or other laws. Rules that apply to the Ready Reserve under chapter 1209 also apply to these Space Force members. Rules in section 12304 that cover the Individual Ready Reserve apply to a Space Force "Individual Ready Guardian" who meets the rule in section 20102(b). Space Force members in a "space force inactive status" can be ordered to active duty under chapter 1209, other laws that allow it, or any agreement the member signed under section 20103. Standby Reserve rules apply to those in space force inactive service. Retired Space Force members can be ordered to active duty under chapters 39 and 1209, and the rules in sections 688, 688a, 12407, and 689 apply. The chapter 1209 provisions that apply include sections 12305, 12308, 12313, 12314, 12315, 12316, 12317, and 12320.
