(Columbia-AP) Sept. 10, 2004 - Officials at Fort Jackson say only
about 60 percent of the reservists recalled to duty have reported
so far.
Lieutenant Colonel Burton Masters says 186 of the 309 members of
the Individual Ready Reserve has reported for duty by Tuesday.
Masters says he's not surprised that not everyone has shown up for
duty. He says most of those who have not reported are seeking
exemptions from active-duty service or delays in reporting.
Masters says those who fail to report or apply for a delay or
exemption will be considered deserters if they do not show up
within seven days of the date they were told to report.
Troops subject to the recall have been on active duty but have not
completed their eight-year obligation to the Army.
