National Guard (in Federal Status) and Reserve Activated as of August 17, 2010

 This week the Army, Air Force, Marine Corps and Coast Guard announced a decrease in activated reservists, while the Navy announced an increase.  The net collective result is 481 fewer reservists activated than last week.

At any given time, services may activate some units and individuals while deactivating others, making it possible for these figures to either increase or decrease.  The total number currently on active duty from the Army National Guard and Army Reserve is 76,218; Navy Reserve, 6,662; Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve, 14,829; Marine Corps Reserve, 4,445; and the Coast Guard Reserve, 778.  This brings the total National Guard and Reserve personnel who have been activated to 102,932, including both units and individual augmentees.
