The Army is recalling to active duty about 5,600 people who recently left the service and still have a reserve obligation. The involuntary callups will begin in July and run through December. It is the first sizable activation of the Individual Ready Reserve since the 1991 Gulf War.

Unlike members of the National Guard and Reserve, individual reservists do not perform regularly scheduled training and receive no pay unless they are called up. The Army is targeting its recall at those who recently left the service and thus have the most up-to-date skills.

The entire Iraq war has so far only succeeded in showing the world the limits of the superpower. Everyone thought it was far more then it turned out to be. This is what we wanted to become obvious?
