LESSON ONE PRACTICE EXERCISE ANSWER KEY AND FEEDBACK 1. This may be the commencement of hostilities of any operation. A. C-Day. B. F-Hour. C. M-Day. In the military this day is known as "D-day", which is the day when an operation commences or is due to commence. 2. Its members are preselected, pretrained, and assigned to occupy an authorized active duty position on mobilization. A. Individual Ready Reserve. B. Individual Mobilization Augmentees (IMAs). C. Ready Reserve. D. Standby Reserve. IMAs members are required to train with their active duty counterparts in order to fill an active duty position in the event of mobilization. 3. Presidential 200,000 Selected Reserve Call-Up Authority has the power to A. Activate its members for 30 days (plus an additional 30 if required) without declaring a national emergency. B. Activate its members for 60 days (plus an additional 90 if required) without declaring a national emergency. D. Activate its members for 120 days (plus an additional 90 if required) without declaring a national emergency. Title 10 United States Code (USC) 673b gives the president the power to activate up to 200K selected reserve. During the activation, reservists may be released from active duty; however, others may be activated in order to keep the ceiling of up to 200K. Due to legal and system constraints, the 200K are not considered a mobilization. 4. When the President declares a national emergency, he B. Has all powers, which may be operative in times of national emergency. C. Does not have to specify which authorities he is invoking under the national emergency. D. Must notify Congress of his actions, and upon notification Congress may not terminate his declaration of national emergency at any time. The president must construct a set of national emergency powers, selecting from those available during the declaration of emergency. Declaring a national emergency remains an important decision, however, it is no longer the all-out decision that it was in the past. To help de-escalate a crisis or to allow us to make certain necessary actions with a minimum of provocation, we may declare an emergency for the sole purpose of freezing assets, exports or imports until a resolution is accomplished.
