      "summary": "Since World War II, reservists have been involuntarily ordered to active duty for military\noperations\nnine times: during the Korean War (1950-1953), the Berlin Crisis (1961-62), the Cuban Missile\nCrisis (1962), the Vietnam War (1968-1969), the Persian Gulf War (1990-91), the intervention in\nHaiti (1994-1996), the Bosnian peacekeeping mission (1995-present), the Iraqi conflict (1998-\npresent), and the Kosovo conflict and peacekeeping mission (1999-present). This report provides\na summary of the circumstances surrounding the activation, the statutory authority used to activate\nthe reservists, the dates of activation, the number of reservists activated, and the number and types\nof units activated.\n  Reservists have also volunteered to serve on active duty during the above mentioned operations,\nand many other operations. Additionally, reservists -- especially those in the National Guard -- \nhave often been involuntarily activated to respond to domestic disturbances (i.e., riots and natural\ndisasters) and to execute the laws of the land (notably with respect to desegregation). Furthermore,\nmany reservists have participated in training exercises or operational missions as part of their two-\nweek long annual training requirement. However, this report does  not  include any data\non these\nactivities; its focus is exclusively on involuntary activations of reservists for military operations.",
