    AURORA, Colo. - Buckley Air Force Base held an Air Force Individual Ready Reserve muster screening here Aug. 7, 2014.

    IRR musters are mandatory formations hosted by a Total Force Air Force installation commander and conducted at active duty, Guard and Reserve installations.

    Selected IRR members attending the one-day event receive informational briefings on readiness and personnel accountability.

    They also benefit from taking advantage of a face-to-face opportunity to verify and update their contact and medical information, thereby increasing the timeliness and efficiency in ARPC’s ability to contact the IRR in the event of mobilization.

    The screening program strives to enhance readiness, boost combat capability and streamline reporting procedures in the event of a call-up. The musters not only help to enhance the readiness and reporting of the pre-trained individual manpower population, but have been an effective tool in recruiting trained assets and exposing IRR members to an array of career opportunities.

    Additional objectives of the IRR muster program are to verify and update personal data on each member; ensure Air Force compliance with legal responsibilities for IRR screening; ensure availability and maintain readiness of IRR members for mobilization; determine skill proficiency degradation and evaluate the need for refresher training to maintain minimum proficiency of IRR members.

    In all, there are 24 IRR musters scheduled between April – August this year.
