Problems in Getting People Into the Active Force After Mobilization

During the first 6 months of a mobilization, the Armed Forces may be required to handle a sudden influx of approximately 1.8 million people entering the Active Services as volunteers, draftees, and from the reserves. This influx will impact on the operations of Armed Forces Examining and Entrance Stations (AFEES), training centers, and active installations. The Department of the Army, as Executive Agent for the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), administers the AFEES. The Army's Military Enlistment Processing Command (MEPCOM) is responsible for day to day operations and for providing mobilization planning guidance.
