What status do reservists have in the Standby Reserve?

Reservists in the Standby Reserve are individuals who have completed their active duty service obligations or have otherwise fulfilled their requirements for active service but still maintain a reserve status. This status allows them to be available for activation if needed, but they are not currently serving on active duty or engaged in regular ongoing training. The nature of the Standby Reserve is designed to keep former active-duty members accessible for future mobilization without requiring them to be on active duty continuously.

This differentiates them from those who are actively engaged in a duty status or ongoing training, as well as those who are mobilized for immediate service, which involves a more immediate operational role. The Standby Reserve serves as a bridge, maintaining these personnel in a reserve capacity while they transition away from active service.
