§ 115.4 - Transfer from the Standby Reserve.

(a) In accordance with section 272 of title 10 U.S.C. any member of the Standby Reserve who has not completed his statutory obligated period of military service in the Ready Reserve may be transferred to the Ready Reserve whenever the reasons for his transfer to the Standby Reserve no longer exist, provided he is otherwise qualified and a requirement exists.

(b) Subject to such regulations as the appropriate Secretary may prescribe, a member of either the Standby Reserve or the Retired Reserve may, upon his own request, be transferred to the Ready Reserve if qualified and a requirement exists for him. However, a member of the Retired Reserve who is entitled to retired pay may not be transferred to the Ready Reserve unless the Secretary concerned personally makes a special finding that the member's services in the Ready Reserve are indispensable. Such voluntary transfer will be accomplished under section 269(d) of title 10, U.S.C. Those who have fulfilled their Ready Reserve statutory obligation will be required to execute a written agreement to serve in the Ready Reserve under conditions set forth in this paragraph (b).

(c) In any case, where an individual is transferred from the Standby Reserve to the Ready Reserve or the Retired Reserve, notification thereof to the Selective Service System will be made by the Military Department concerned in accordance with part 136 of this subchapter.
