IMMEDIATE RELEASE No. 456-08
May 28, 2008

National Guard (In Federal Status) and Reserve Mobilized as of May 28, 2008

This week the Army and Marine Corps announced an increase, while the Navy and Air Force announced a decrease. The Coast Guard number remained the same. The net collective result is 410 more reservists mobilized than last week.
 
At any given time, services may mobilize some units and individuals while demobilizing others, making it possible for these figures to either increase or decrease.  The total number currently on active duty in support of the partial mobilization of the Army National Guard and Army Reserve is 77,007; Navy Reserve, 4,543; Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve, 8,135; Marine Corps Reserve, 9,704; and the Coast Guard Reserve, 341. This brings the total National Guard and Reserve personnel who have been mobilized to 99,730, including both units and individual augmentees.
 
A cumulative roster of all National Guard and Reserve personnel who are currently mobilized can be found at http://www.defenselink.mil/news/May2008/d20080528ngr.pdf .
