DESERT SHIELD/STORM LESSONS LEARNED REPORT #X
 
POC: J. HERBERTSON/SGR/6490
 
TITLE: Reinforcement Designee Policy 
 
OBSERVATION: Medical reinforcement designees do not need to be pushed to ATC bases 
during mobilization. 
 
DISCUSSION: Members of the 9021st Air Reserve Squadron, (Category H, non-pay program), 
Reinforcement Designees, were not happy with the mobilization. Since they are 
considered part of the Individual Ready Reserve, they were included in the push-pull 
mobilization and sent to Lackland AFB for processing prior to duty at a medical 
treatment facility. These individuals are participating Reservists, have a unit of 
attachment, and train. They do not need to be included in push-pull mobilization. 
 
LESSONS LEARNED: Reinforcement designees should not be handled like the rest of the 
IRR. 
 
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: Mobilize reinforcement designees directly to a medical treatment 
facility during the next contingency. We may want to look at placing these members 
under the Selected Reserve rather than the IRR.
