IRR = Individual Ready Reserves. Military retirees can volunteer for IRR and are given emergency deployment assignments. Others are automatically "enrolled" in the IRR. Info: military.com EDIT. An example. Reservists usually do 6 years in a reserve unit. That is followed by two more in the IRR. The latter requires no training and no pay is issued for that time. Calling up IRR folks is extremely unusual and a real indicator of how much the Army really needs the 38,000 men it is currently short.
