The Ready Reserve Act of 2025 aims to expand early retirement eligibility for specific members of the Ready Reserve . It achieves this by amending a key provision within title 10, United States Code , which governs armed forces. Specifically, the bill changes the required start date for active duty service that qualifies members for early retirement. The current date of January 28, 2008, is replaced with September 11, 2001 , thereby extending eligibility to those who served on active duty immediately following the 9/11 attacks.
