Title 10, USC § 12319. Ready Reserve: Muster Duty
Under regulations prescribed by the Secretary of Defense, a member of the Ready Reserve may be ordered without his or her consent to muster duty one time each year. A member ordered to muster duty under this section shall be required to perform a minimum of two hours of muster duty on the day of muster and will be compensated (Muster Duty Allowance Pay Table).
Muster duty is critical to both the Air Force and you. From the Air Force’s perspective, your participation in the Muster ensures our ability to contact you should the need arise, in response to a national emergency; during the one day, 2–4-hour event, we will focus on validating and updating your contact information and medical status.
Additionally, you will receive the most current information on IRR member benefits & entitlements, which include a military ID card (including eligible family members) allowing access to Commissary, BX, Morale, Welfare and Recreational services, space available travel/lodging, and dental insurance. Additionally, Musters give you first-hand knowledge of career opportunities in the Selected Reserve (Air National Guard/Air Force Reserve) and all the benefits that come with an assignment in the Air Reserve Component.
For more information about Musters, IRR members may email , contact the Total Force Service Center 1 (800) 525-0102, or “Create A Request” form.
