Based on this information, every employer will be able to determine how seriously that civilian activity would be affected if the Reservist left to serve on active duty.

(d) Annual screening. (See § 125.5.) Members of units and other members of the Ready Reserve who are not on active duty shall be screened at least annually in order to provide a Ready Reserve force composed of individuals who:

(1) Meet military service standards of mental, moral, professional and physical fitness, and possess the required military qualifications in the various ranks, grades, ratings, and specialties;

(3) Are immediately available for military service during any national emergency.

(e) Transfer from Standby Reserve to Ready Reserve. Pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 272, any member of the Standby Reserve who has not completed his obligated period of military service in the Ready Reserve may be transferred to the Ready Reserve whenever the reason for his transfer to the Standby Reserve no longer exists. Similarly, a nonobligor may be transferred back to the Ready Reserve when the reason for his transfer to the Standby Reserve no longer exists. (See Part 115 of this subchapter.)

(f) Critical military skill. The Secretaries of the military departments may retain those reserve personnel in a Ready Reserve status who possess a critical military skill or are essential to the support of contingency or war plans even though under the provisions of this part they would normally be screened and transferred to the Standby Reserve.
