1) Soldiers performing OS duties will count toward either Active Duty or AGR end
strength limits if their OS orders specify a period greater than three years, or if their OS service
exceeds three cumulative years within the previous four-year period.
2) RC service members who cross either OS duty threshold (the 1,095 days either out of
the previous 1,460 days or at the beginning of a tour when the orders specify a period of AD
greater than three years) will count against the AD strengths.
3) All RC Service members will receive training pursuant to assignments and required
