JOINT RESOLUTION
To authorize the President to order units and members in the Ready Reserve to active duty for not more than twelve months, and for other purposes.
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That, notwithstanding any other provision of law, until February 28, 1963, the President may, without the consent of the persons concerned, order any unit, or any member, of the Ready Reserve of an armed force to active duty for not more than twelve consecutive months. However, not more than one hundred and fifty thousand members of the Ready Reserve may be on active duty (other than for training), without their consent, under this section at any one time.
Sec. 2.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, until February 28, 1963, the President may authorize the Secretary of Defense to extend enlistments, appointments, periods of active duty, periods of active duty for training, periods of obligated service or other military status, in any component of an armed force or in the National Guard that expire before February 28, 1963, for not more than twelve months. However, if the enlistment of a member of the Ready Reserve who is ordered to active duty under the first content this Act would expire after February 28, 1963, but before he has served the entire period for which he was so ordered to active duty, his enlistment may be extended until the last day of that period.
Sec. 3.
No member of the Ready Reserve who was involuntarily ordered to active duty or whose period of active duty was extended
under the Act of August 1, 1961, Public Law 87–117 (75 Stat. 242), may be involuntarily ordered to active duty under this Act.
Approved October 3, 1962.
