What is the "Reserve Component Individual Acknowledgement of Dwell"?

CPT Private RallyPoint Member — Tue, 02 Dec 2014 09:37:37 -0500

I am currently working on a packet to submit for a Tour of Duty position and it says that I need to sign a "Reserve Component Individual Acknowledgement of Dwell or Notification of Mobilization form dated 5 February 2014" Has anyone heard of these and know where I get them?

Thank you for your assistance.

RESERVE COMPONENT (RC) DWELL IS THE PERIOD OF TIME A UNIT OR INDIVIDUAL IS NOT INVOLUNTARILY MOBILIZED PURSUANT TO 10 U.S.C 12302 OR 12304 MOBILIZATION AUTHORITY OR INVOLUNTARILY ACTIVATED PURSUANT TO 10 U.S.C 12304(B) AUTHORITY.
3.C DEPLOYMENT/MOBILIZATION-TO-DWELL RATIOS FOR THE AC/AR:
3.C.1. DEPLOYMENT-TO-DWELL RATIO FOR AC AND ACTIVE RESERVE (AR). THE RATIO OF TIME A UNIT, DETACHMENT, OR INDIVIDUAL IS OPERATIONALLY DEPLOYED TO THE TIME THE UNIT, DETACHMENT, OR INDIVIDUAL IS IN DWELL. FOR EXAMPLE, A UNIT THAT OPERATIONALLY DEPLOYED FOR FOUR MONTHS AND WAS IN DWELL FOR EIGHT MONTHS WOULD HAVE AN OPERATIONAL DEPLOYMENT-TO-DWELL RATIO OF 1:2.
3.C.2. MOBILIZATION-TO-DWELL RATIO FOR RESERVE COMPONENT (RC). FOR RESERVE UNITS, DETACHMENTS OR INDIVIDUALS, MOBILIZATION-TO-DWELL RATIO WILL BE MEASURED IN ACCORDANCE WITH REF C AND D. THE MOBILIZATION PERIOD IS CALCULATED FROM THE DATE OF INVOLUNTARY MOBILIZATION TO THE DATE OF DEMOBILIZATION. FOR EXAMPLE, A UNIT THAT WAS INVOLUNTARILY MOBILIZED FOR SIX MONTHS AND WAS IN DWELL FOR 24 MONTHS WOULD HAVE A MOBILIZATION-TO-DWELL RATIO OF 1:4.

Yes if you have been deployed before as a reservist I believe you get 2 years of stabilization time which is what they are calling dwell time before you can be deployed again.

The form should be given to you by your unit administrator or the person handling you packet at the Pentagon DCS G3:5/7 section as they are the ones in charge of the Tour of Duty slots.

I hope this helps you, also try googling the form everything is online these days!

CPT Private RallyPoint Member I don't know the answer personally. I am tagging SGM Luther Thomas here in hopes that he may be able to find a free minute to share insights with you on this. SGM Luther Thomas is the CSM of the entire Army Reserve, so I think his insights would be golden! :-)

Sir, if you have dwell timing remaining you have to sign a waiver before you can mobilize. Once you sign the waiver you cannot revoke it.

If you need more information please feel free to message me and I will give you my email.address.

Do I have to sign one if I was involuntary mobilized and only given 60 days notice?
