----------
Ordering the Selected Reserve of the Armed Forces to Active Duty
By the authority vested in me as President by the
Constitution and the laws of the United States of America,
including section 12304 of title 10, United States Code, and
having determined that it is necessary to augment the regular
Armed Forces of the United States for a named operational
mission, specifically the ``Enhanced Department of Defense
Counternarcotic Operation in the Western Hemisphere,'' I hereby
order as follows:
Section 1. Activation Authority. The Secretary of Defense
is directed to order to active duty for not more than 365
consecutive days, any units, and any individual members not
assigned to a unit organized to serve as a unit, of the
Selected Reserve under the jurisdiction of the Secretary of
Defense, not to exceed 200 Selected Reservists at any one time,
as he considers necessary.
Sec. 2. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order shall
be construed to impair or otherwise affect:
(i) the authority granted by law to an executive
department or agency, or head thereof; or
(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of
Management and Budget relating to budgetary,
administrative, or legislative proposals.
(b) This order shall be implemented consistent with
applicable law and subject to the availability of
appropriations.
(c) This order is not intended to, and does not, create any
right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law

Donald J. Trump.
