Sec. 10149. Ready Reserve: continuous screening

    (a) Under regulations to be prescribed by the President, the 
Secretary concerned shall provide a system of continuous screening of 
units and members of the Ready Reserve to ensure the following:
        (1) That there will be no significant attrition of those members 
    or units during a mobilization.
        (2) That there is a proper balance of military skills.
        (3) That except for those with military skills for which there 
    is an overriding requirement, members having critical civilian 
    skills are not retained in numbers beyond the need for those skills.
        (4) That with due regard to national security and military 
    requirements, recognition will be given to participation in combat.
        (5) That members whose mobilization in an emergency would result 
    in an extreme personal or community hardship are not retained in the 
    Ready Reserve.

    (b) Under regulations to be prescribed by the Secretary of Defense, 
and by the Secretary of Transportation with respect to the Coast Guard 
when it is not operating as a service in the Navy, a member of the Ready 
Reserve who is designated as a member not to be retained in the Ready 
Reserve as a result of screening under subsection (a) shall, as 
appropriate, be--
        (1) transferred to the Standby Reserve;
        (2) discharged; or
        (3) if the member is eligible and applies therefor, transferred 
    to the Retired Reserve.
