National Guard (In Federal Status) And Reserve Activated As Of November 24, 2009

There are real people and their families behind these numbers:

IMMEDIATE RELEASE No. 929-09
November 25, 2009
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
National Guard (In Federal Status) And Reserve Activated As Of November 24, 2009

This week the Air Force and Coast Guard announced an increase in activated reservists, while the Army, Navy and Marine Corps announced a decrease. The net collective result is 770 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 105,522; Navy Reserve, 6,482; Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve, 13,818; Marine Corps Reserve, 7,617; and the Coast Guard Reserve, 779. This brings the total National Guard and Reserve personnel who have been activated to 134,218, including both units and individual augmentees.

A cumulative roster of all National Guard and Reserve personnel who are currently activated may be found at http://www.defenselink.mil/news/Nov2009/d20091124ngr.pdf .

I think DU could use more of a culture where we acknowledge others, and their points, even when we disagree.
