Reservists who deployed for 30 continuous days or more to a location outside the United States that does not have a permanent U.S. military medical treatment facility receive a full medical assessment before release from active duty. Ideally, the assessment is administered at least five days before redeploying home or to a mobilization processing station. If the assessment was not done overseas, it must be completed before a reservist separates from active duty. People who were called up and deployed overseas in support of Kosovo operations for less than 30 days or those who didn t leave the United States, regardless of the tour length, undergo a medical evaluation before release from active duty. With their consent, people needing a more detailed medical evaluation or treatment can remain on active duty pending resolution of their medical condition.
People can also apply to stay on active duty because of personal or financial hardship.
If they decline separation, they will be accessed into the active force and made available for worldwide assignment at the Air Force s discretion. Reserve units have up to 30 days to reconstitute equipment and supplies, and to reestablish organizational operations.
