“Individual Ready Reserve”

How can we take a newspaper seriously when they can’t even get an acronym it takes 15 seconds to look up on google right.

(IRR is inactive ready reserve, btw)

Actually, in the Army, it is Individual Ready Reserve. :)

When I got out of the service 20 years ago it was referred to as Individual Ready Reserve. I don't know if this was the correct term as I didn't care at the time.

I just remembered, inactive ready reserve if I remember correctly was something you could do on your own after your contract ran out. It was strictly voluntary and you had no obligation to do anything at all, not even one day a year. What you could do was earn points for retirement by doing MCI's and activating yourself at your own whim whenever you felt like it and there was a need for you somewhere. I remember it well as we would encounter these types on occasion. They were always laid back and experts in their fields but did not want the obligations required of the active duty,reserves or even the individual ready reserves.
