This week, the Army, Navy and Air Force each announce a decrease of reservists on active duty in support of the partial mobilization. The Marine Corps announces a slight increase. The net collective result is 2,313 fewer reservists than last week.

At any given time, services may mobilize some units and individuals while demobilizing others, making it possible for these figures to either increase or decrease.
