September 14, 2001
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and
the laws of the United States of America, including the National
Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) and section 301 of title
3, United States Code, and in furtherance of the proclamation of
September 14, 2001, Declaration of National Emergency by Reason of
Certain Terrorist Attacks, which declared a national emergency by
reason of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, New
York, New York, and the Pentagon, and the continuing and immediate
threat of further attacks on the United States, I hereby order as
follows:
Section 1. To provide additional authority to the Department of
Defense and the Department of Transportation to respond to the
continuing and immediate threat of further attacks on the United
States, the authority under title 10, United States Code, to order
any unit, and any member of the Ready Reserve not assigned to a
unit organized to serve as a unit, in the Ready Reserve to active
duty for not more than 24 consecutive months, is invoked and made
available, according to its terms, to the Secretary concerned,
subject in the case of the Secretaries of the Army, Navy, and Air
Force, to the direction of the Secretary of Defense. The term
"Secretary concerned" is defined in section 101(a)(9) of title 10,
United States Code, to mean the Secretary of the Army with respect
to the Army; the Secretary of the Navy with respect to the Navy,
the Marine Corps, and the Coast Guard when it is operating as a
service in the Navy; the Secretary of the Air Force with respect to
the Air Force; and the Secretary of Transportation with respect to
the Coast Guard when it is not operating as a service in the
Navy.
Sec. 2. To allow for the orderly administration of personnel within
the armed forces, the following authorities vested in the President
are hereby invoked to the full extent provided by the terms
thereof: section 527 of title 10, United States Code, to suspend
the operation of sections 523, 525, and 526 of that title,
regarding officer and warrant officer strength and distribution;
and sections 123, 123a, and 12006 of title 10, United States Code,
to suspend certain laws relating to promotion, involuntary
retirement, and separation of commissioned officers; end strength
limitations; and Reserve component officer strength
limitations.
Sec. 3. To allow for the orderly administration of personnel within
the armed forces, the authorities vested in the President by
sections 331, 359, and 367 of title 14, United States Code,
relating to the authority to order to active duty certain officers
and enlisted members of the Coast Guard and to detain enlisted
members, are invoked to the full extent provided by the terms
thereof.
Sec. 4. The Secretary of Defense is hereby designated and
empowered, without the approval, ratification, or other action by
the President, to exercise the authority vested in the President by
sections 123, 123a, 527, and 12006 of title 10, United States Code,
as invoked by sections 2 and 3 of this order.
Sec. 5. The Secretary of Transportation is hereby designated and
empowered, without the approval, ratification, or other action by
the President, to exercise the authority vested in sections 331,
359, and 367 of title 14, United States Code, when the Coast Guard
is not serving as part of the Navy, as invoked by section 2 of this
order, to recall any regular officer or enlisted member on the
retired list to active duty and to detain any enlisted member
beyond the term of his or her enlistment.
Sec. 6. The authority delegated by this order to the Secretary of
Defense and the Secretary of Transportation may be redelegated and
further subdelegated to civilian subordinates who are appointed to
their offices by the President, by and with the advice and consent
of the Senate.
Sec. 7. Based upon my determination under 10 U.S.C. 2201(c) that it
is necessary to increase (subject to limits imposed by law) the
number of members of the armed forces on active duty beyond the
number for which funds are provided in appropriation Acts for the
Department of Defense, the Secretary of Defense may provide for the
cost of such additional members as an excepted expense under
section 11(a) of title 41, United States Code.
Sec. 8. This order is intended only to improve the internal
management of the executive branch, and is not intended to create
any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law
by a party against the United States, its agencies, its officers,
or any person.
Sec. 9. This order is effective immediately and shall be promptly
transmitted to the Congress and published in the Federal
Register.
