SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Congress makes the following findings: 
(1) Since September 11, 2001, members of the 
reserve components of the Armed Forces have been 
sent into harm’s way and fought alongside members 
of the regular components of the Armed Forces. 
(2) Between September 11, 2001, and January 
28, 2008, more than 600,000 members of the re-
serve components have been mobilized in support of 
military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan and for 
other contingency operations. 
(3) More than 142,000 members of the reserve 
components have been mobilized more than once 
during this same period. 
(4) Section 647 of the National Defense Au-
thorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 (Public Law 
110–181, 122 Stat. 160) consisted of an amendment 
to section 12731 of title 10, United States Code, of-
fering an earlier retirement benefit for members of 
the reserve components who are mobilized in support 
of contingency operations.

Fiscal Year 2008 only considers service performed 
after the date of the enactment of such Act, January

the service and sacrifice made by members of the re-
serve components since September 11, 2001.

fense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 (Public Law 
110–181, 122 Stat. 160), is amended in paragraph 
(2)(A)— 
(1) by striking ‘‘the date of the enactment of 
the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2008’’ and inserting ‘‘September 11, 2001’’;
