Subject: "stop loss" program



Assistant Secretary of the Army (Manpower and Reserve Affairs) Reginald J. Brown approved a second increment to the Army's limited "stop loss" program. This stop loss increment expands the coverage of the first stop loss increment to the Ready Reserve and brings additional skills and specialties under stop loss coverage for both the Active Army and the Ready Reserve. Stop loss allows the Army to retain soldiers who are determined to be essential to the national security of the United States in the service beyond their date of separation for an open-ended period. Those affected by the order generally cannot voluntarily retire or leave the service as long as reserves are called to active duty or until otherwise relieved by proper authority.
Officer and Warrant Officer Specialties, and Enlisted Military Occupational Specialties (MOS) Subject to Stop Loss 2 are:
The following U.S. Army Reserve (Ready Reserve) officer, warrant officer and enlisted specialties are included:
(Commissioned Officers who have career field designated out of Specialties 18, 38 and 39 are not affected by this stop-loss)
The following enlisted MOSs are included:
The following Army National Guard (Ready Reserve) officer, warrant officer and enlisted specialties are included:
(Commissioned Officers who have career field designated out of Specialty 18 are not affected by this stop-loss)
The following enlisted MOSs are included:
The following Active Army officer and enlisted specialties are included:
(Commissioned Officers who have career field designated out of Specialty 39 are not affected by this stop-loss)
The following enlisted MOSs are included:
Reginald J. Brown, Assistant Secretary of the Army (Manpower and Reserve Affairs), approved the first increment of Stop Loss in support of Operations Noble Eagle and Enduring Freedom on November 30, 2001. The first increment focused on Active Army Special Forces and selected Aviation soldiers.
Prior to Operations Noble Eagle and Enduring Freedom, the Army last used stop loss during Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm in 1990. In that same year, President George H. Bush delegated stop loss authority to the Secretary of Defense during Operation Desert Shield.
Most involuntary discharges would not be affected by stop loss, nor would stop loss change any policies or regulations currently in effect that might lead to an involuntary administrative discharge.
The Army will reevaluate stop loss on a monthly basis and use it as a tool to maintain unit readiness.
