(b) DETERMINATIONS BY INTERPOLATION.—If the
total number of members of a reserve compo-
nent serving on full-time reserve component
duty is between any two consecutive numbers in
the first column of the appropriate table in
paragraph (1) or (2) of subsection (a), the cor-
responding authorized strengths for each of the
grades shown in that table for that component
are determined by mathematical interpolation
between the respective numbers of the two
strengths. If the total number of members of a
reserve component serving on full-time reserve
component duty is more or less than the highest
or lowest number, respectively, set forth in the
first column of the appropriate table in para-
graph (1) or (2) of subsection (a), the Secretary
concerned shall fix the corresponding strengths
for the grades shown in that table at the same
proportion as is reflected in the nearest limit
shown in the table.
(c) REALLOCATIONS TO LOWER GRADES.—When-
ever the number of officers serving in any grade
for duty described in subsection (a) is less than
the number authorized for that grade under this
section, the difference between the two numbers
may be applied to increase the number author-
ized under this section for any lower grade.
(d) SECRETARIAL
WAIVER.—(1) Upon deter-
mining that it is in the national interest to do
so, the Secretary of Defense may increase for a
particular fiscal year the number of reserve offi-
cers that may be on full-time reserve component
duty for a reserve component in a grade referred
Page 3636
TITLE 10—ARMED FORCES
§ 12011
to in a table in subsection (a) by a number that
does not exceed the number equal to 5 percent of
the maximum number specified for the grade in
that table.
(2) Whenever the Secretary exercises the au-
thority provided in paragraph (1), the Secretary
shall submit to the Committee on Armed Serv-
ices of the Senate and the Committee on Armed
Services of the House of Representatives notice
in writing of the adjustment made.
(e) FULL-TIME RESERVE COMPONENT DUTY DE-
FINED.—In this section, the term ‘‘full-time re-
serve component duty’’ means the following
duty:
(1) Active duty described in sections 10211,
10302, 10303, 10304, 10305, 12310, or 12402 of this
title.
(2) Full-time National Guard duty (other
than for training) under section 502(f) of title
32, except for duty under section 115(b)(1)(B)
and (C) of this title and section 115(i)(9) of this
title.
(3) Active duty described in section 708 of
title 32.
