How does an IRR soldier seek an exemption or
delay?
– Soldiers who receive mobilization orders are expected to comply
with the order. IRR/IMA soldiers who think they may have grounds
for delay or exemption must apply in writing to the HRC St. Louis
Delay and Exemption (D&E) Board Team explaining the reason(s)
for application and providing the necessary information and
documentary evidence. Soldiers may call the D&E team at 1-800325-4361 for additional guidance on preparing a delay or
exemption packet. Packets forwarded to HRC St. Louis will go
before the Delay and Exemption Board for a recommendation and
the HRC St. Louis Commander will make the final determination.
Soldiers may appeal unfavorable board outcomes to the
Department of the Army G1. The HRC St. Louis D&E Board Team
will provide instructions for this process as well.

What happens if the soldier fails to comply with
the order?
– Soldiers who fail to comply with the reporting data
on the order to active duty will be listed as Absent
Without Leave (AWOL), and will subsequently be
listed as deserters if they fail to report within 30
days. In either event, their names will be reported
to military and civilian law enforcement officials
and they will be subject to apprehension and
criminal prosecution.

To Resign or Not to Resign

Send in your IRR resignations and receive orders
– If you haven't sent in an update to Reserve PERSCOM since you got off of
active duty and your address has changed they don’t know where you are.
– If Reserve PERSCOM can't find you they can’t send you orders or they get
orders returned to sender.
– IRR orders are normally sent to the home of record identified on your DD214.
Sometimes it is safer to find a Reserve unit and transfer from the IRR
– If you do not want to deploy and are concerned about getting recalled from
the IRR find a unit that has recently returned and transfer into it.
– If you want to deploy, but not as an individual augmentee, find a Reserve
unit that is preparing for deployment and transfer into it - most are on a five
year cycle.
– It is easier to get out of the Active Reserve following a 1 or 2 year
mobilization than it is to get out of the IRR.
Many Reserve MOS are in a stop loss . If your MOS is in astop loss you cannot
resign. Additional information is available through Reserve PERSCOM.

Resign from the IRR
• Read the Fine Print: Your commitment is not complete
until you pass the 8 year mark.
• After the 8 year mark, just when you thought you were free
- NOTHING HAPPENED to your record to indicate your
time in service was complete.
• You must resign from the IRR.
• In order to resign you must submit a resignation letter to
RESERVE PERSCOM
• Sample format
•There is a link on the Reserve PERSCOM page that tells
you how to get out - you need an Army Knowledge Online
(AKO) account to get there
• AKO website - www.us.army.mil
