The deployment of a unit of a reserve component of the Armed Forces described in paragraph
(2)may not be cancelled during the 180-day period ending on the date on which the unit is otherwise scheduled for deployment without the approval, in writing, of the Secretary of Defense. A deployment of a unit of a reserve component described in this paragraph is a deployment whose cancellation as described in paragraph
(1)is due to the deployment of a unit of a regular component of the Armed Forces to carry out the mission for which the unit of the reserve component was otherwise to be deployed. On approving the cancellation of deployment of a unit under paragraph (1), the Secretary shall submit to the congressional defense committees and the Governor concerned a notice on the approval of cancellation of deployment of the unit. The Secretary concerned may not provide less than 120 days advance notice of an involuntary mobilization to a member of the reserve component of the Armed Forces described in paragraph
(2)without the approval, in writing, of the Secretary of Defense. A member of a reserve component described in this paragraph is a member as follows: A member who is not assigned to a unit organized to serve as a unit. A member who is to be mobilized apart from the member’s unit. This subsection shall apply with respect to members who are mobilized on or after the date that is 120 days after the date of the enactment of this Act. In this subsection, the term Secretary concerned has the meaning given that term in section 101(a)(9) of title 10, United States Code. This subsection shall cease to apply as of the date of the completion of the withdrawal of United States combat forces from Afghanistan. The Secretary of Defense may not delegate the approval of cancellations of deployments of units under subsection
(a)or the approval of mobilization of Reserves without advance notice under subsection (b).
