§ 5456. Naval Reserve and Marine Corps Reserve Subject to the authorized strengths of the Naval Reserve and the Marine Corps Reserve, the number of members of the Naval Reserve and the Marine Corps Reserve that may be in each grade is that which the Secretary of the Navy determines to be necessary to provide for mobilization requirements.
