To get a conditional release from the Army Reserves, would it be a faster transferring to the IRR and then going back active duty?

That makes sense to me since that's what I did to go from the National Guard to the Army Reserve so to go to the active duty I would think that would be the same procedure? Recruiters and or readiness non commissioned officers will know this.

MILPER Message 17-052, Call to Active Duty is a fast track conditional release as the Active Component is trying to plus up quickly before 30 Sep.

Getting a transfer request to the IRR approved will likely take you just as long as waiting on your conditional release process/approved. Have you asked for a status on your request? The Army Reserve has been approving quite a few conditional releases the last few months and that trend will likely continue. If you are not MOS Q, it should be easier for you to get it approved. Are you scheduled for an MOS Q course?

If you are currently in the Army IRR, an Active duty Recruiter cannot help, you must speak with the Reserves Career Counselor and get into the Reserves and then go speak with an Active Duty Recruiter to do your DD form 368 which is the conditional release form and turn it into the reserve unit. From there it can take up to 6 months before the DD form 368 to return.

I would have to say That depends. It really depends on your BDE policy on conditional releases. One of the units I support can get a conditional release quite easily. For another the General doesn't approve them unless they have a really good reason, and "I want to enlist in the Active Duty" isn't a good enough reason.

It's Reserve and no just ensure that the soldier has all of his/her RA 50 turned in and has no other responsibilities i.e. Writing ncoers etc and unit Cdr or unit administration strator should release in 368
