Welcome to the Individual Ready Reserve (also known as the IRR).
The U.S. Army Human Resources Command (HRC) appreciates your continued dedication to our nation.
The majority of Soldiers going into the IRR do so because they have a remaining statutory Military Service Obligation (MSO) under Section 651 of Title 10 USC that they need to fulfill. As an IRR Soldier, you are in an active status in the Army Ready Reserve and are part of a pool of individual Soldiers who have been trained, through your Service in the active forces or in the Selected Reserve and are available for mobilization in time of war or national emergency.
This handbook provides an overview of the IRR Program and outlines responsibilities:
