Reserve Component of the Armed Forces Active Duty composition of the Armed Forces will exist in peacetime and in war and it will form the basis for growth of the Forces. Reserve component will be formed of the Contract and Mobilization Reserve that will provide for growth of the Forces. Part of the Active Duty military personnel will be deployed to additional duties, fulfilling the key organizational positions in Reserve units in conformity with the Wartime Formation. Contracted reserve will fulfill insufficient Military-Occupational Specialties that are not adequate or cost-effective for organization in Active Duty composition. A part of the Contract Reserve members will be assigned to organizational positions in Reserve units, as required. Mobilization Reserve will be formed of the Assigned and Non-assigned reserve. Assigned reserve will be formed of the conscripts assigned to Military Occupational Specialty, after conscription, voluntary military training or Active Duty military service. Non-assigned Reserve members will be listed in military records and in the case of required development of Defense Capabilities; they will have to undergo medical examinations and evaluation of their capa- bility for military service. They will also be able to enter Active Duty military service. Engagement of the Reserve component will result in growth of the overall Defense Capabilities of the Armed Forces to conduct missions and tasks at home and abroad. Contracted and Assigned reserve members will be evaluated during training and execution of duties and will be upgraded or rather promoted to higher rank. A special concept of military education will be developed for Contracted and Assigned Reserve members (for candidates for Reserve Officers and NCOs, for Reserve Officers and NCOs, as well as for more demanding Military Occupational Specialties). For requirements of the Reserve Component, the Armed Forces will keep/store weapons and equipment. Contracted Reserve Contract Reserve will number up to 1,000 members, and for the most part it will comprise of organizational positions for specific Military Occupational Specialties indispensable for conduct of operations that, for some particular reasons, are not suitable for manning Active Duty military component of the Armed Forces. These will mainly be highly specialized medical personnel for ROLE-2 and other person- Figure 12: Organizational chart of the Assigned Reserve. ARTILLERYMISSILE REGIMENT INFANTRY REGIMENT 2. 3. 4. 5.
