In the reserve components, it takes waiver approval at Director/Chief level for a reservist to come on orders with more than 17.5 years of AFS.
It's possible with a mobilization, otherwise there would need to be a mission critical need to bring you on orders, no one in the reserves gets orders solely for the purpose of getting to 20 yrs AFS.

Do I qualify for sanctuary? | RallyPoint
On my DD214, I have 17 years 5 months and 25 days of Active Federal Service (AFS). I am currently in the Army Reserves as an IPU Soldier since 20150208. Does my Reserve time put me over the 18 year mark. If so, can I apply for sanctuary?

My understanding is that Commanders are not authorized to bring a Reservist onto AD for the purpose of receiving Sanctuary. Reservists have to apply directly to HRC for Sanctuary, there is a page on Sanctuary on HRC
