The total number of personnel currently on active duty in support of the partial mobilization for the Army National Guard and Army Reserve is 24,913; Naval Reserve, 5,118; Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve, 16,159; Marine Corps Reserve, 3,858; and the Coast Guard Reserve, 707. This brings the total reserve and National Guard on active duty to 50,755 including both units and individual augmentees.

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.
