When a person joins the Air Guard, Army Guard, Air Force Reserve or Army Reserve, they make a commitment to protect, honor and serve their country.
That commitment includes the possibility of mobilization whenever there's a need.
There are four types of mobilization:
Selective Mobilization - response to natural disasters/civil disturbances that do not threaten national security. Partial Mobilization - President mobilizes forces in response to external threats to national security. Full Mobilization - Congress mobilizes all Reserve units in response to a declaration of war or national emergency.
Total Mobilization - President and Congress activate the entire Armed Forces, as well as all national resources.
Personal readiness takes time and effort and it is your responsibility as a member of the military.
