Under the same provision, what is the maximum number of Selected Reserve and IRR members that can be activated at any one time?

• A. 150,000
• B. 250,000
• C. 300,000
• D. 200,000

Answer: (D)

Activation limits for Reserve components are set to prevent overextending the active force. The provision caps the total number of Selected Reserve and IRR members who can be activated to active duty at any one time at two hundred thousand. This ensures mobilization needs can be met without overwhelming active-duty forces, across all services and components. So the maximum is two hundred thousand; the other numbers don’t fit the established cap.
