Under Title 10, United States Code, and Executive Order 13223 of
September 14, 2001, the President has authorized the Department of Defense
and the Department of Transportation to respond to the continuing and
immediate threat of further attacks on the United States by ordering any
unit and any member of the Ready Reserve to active duty for not more than
24 consecutive months.
Federal law provides many important rights and benefits for Federal
employees who perform active military duty. An overview of these rights
and benefits can be found on the Office of Personnel Management's website.
