While the Ukraine conflict rages on and rumors run rampant about France potentially deploying up to 2,000 troops to Ukraine, according to Russian intelligence, the US Army yesterday issued a “Utilization of the Army Retiree Recall Program.”
On March 20th, the US Army Publishing Directorate published ALARACT 017/2024. The title of the form is “Utilization of the Army Retiree Recall Program” and it cites Executive Order 13223 under “References”. Executive Order 13223 is a Bush-era EO from September 14, 2001 titled “Ordering the Ready Reserve of the Armed Forces to Active Duty and Delegating Certain Authorities to the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Transportation.”
The 18-page PDF for the ALARACT, which stands for “All Army Activities”, contains a slide titled “Directorate of Military Personnel Management.” Under the first slide, it states:
“What is a Retiree Recall? -A recalled retiree is a retired Soldier who is ordered to active duty from the Retired Reserve or the retired list under 10 USC 688/688a, 12301(a), or 12301(d) and serves in his or her retired status. Retiree Recall is not an extension of your MRD.
Who can approve a Retiree Recall? -The Assistant Secretary of the Army (ASA) of Manpower and Reserve Affairs (M&RA) is the authorized approver to recall retired Soldiers.”
The ALARACT does reference “peacetime operations”:
1.E. (U) AR 601-10, Management and Recall to Active Duty of Retired Soldiers of the Army In Support of Mobilization and Peacetime Operations.

What they are looking for are the retirees who enlisted at 18 years old, did their 20 (or whatever beyond-20 they were allowed by rank), and are now drawing retirement benefits.
So, in theory they could get a 38 year old retiree with 20 years experience. Carrot or stick. Don’t comply - lose benefits I guess.
Either way, such tactics are a sign of very serious problems with our military readiness which is failing because of its woke and leftist policies.
I’ve already stashed money away to leave the country if I am drafted. If I am not, I’ll use that money to get my nephew out of the country to avoid the draft.
Easy fix for this is when you are recalled, just show up 40 lbs overweight with a big honking joint in your mouth.
Wine improves with age.

‘You’ve been warned’: Florida sheriff says he may deputize gun owners against protesters
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Clay County Sheriff Darryl Daniels, no stranger to making viral videos appealing to tough-on-crime politics, released a video Tuesday that said he will make “special deputies of every lawful gun owner in this county” if he feels the county is overwhelmed by protesters.
The three-minute video shows Daniels standing in front of 18 deputies as he derides civil rights protesters as godless disruptors and tells them to stay out of Clay County, a suburb of Jacksonville.
“If we can’t handle you, I’ll exercise the power and authority as the sheriff, and I’ll make special deputies of every lawful gun owner in this county and I’ll deputize them for this one purpose to stand in the gap between lawlessness and civility,” he said.

Yikes my brother was in 101st during the Reagan years. This is a hell of a lot different under Biden. He is still in pretty good shape but I don’t see him repelling down a helicopter.
First, they need to grab up the draft dodgers that ran to Canada and later returned after the end of the Vietnam War.

“First, they need to grab up the draft dodgers that ran to Canada and later returned after the end of the Vietnam War.”
I believe Clinton forgave the draft dodgers and invited them to return to the US. Drafting the draft dodgers, thus, is back on the books.
Yep, sounds like your brother, like me is a ‘bottom of the barrel desperate’ candidate for recall. 5’9”, 213, stainless steel right hip courtesy of WRAMC. I could still do an office job in my old officer MI branch, or as a filler for an Army Military History Detachment interviewing soldiers and collecting military documents for archival storage. I did the latter for the majority of my 23 years as an Army civilian historian at Ft. McNair in DC. Just exempt me from doing the pt test.
Here is the publication.
