A member of the armed forces may not be ordered to active duty solely for the purpose of qualifying the member for retired pay under this chapter.
(Aug. 10, 1956, ch. 1041, 70A Stat. 104, § 1337; renumbered § 12737 and amended Pub. L. 103–337, div. A, title XVI, § 1662(j)(1), Oct. 5, 1994, 108 Stat. 2998, 3003.)
10:1036h (1st sentence) and 34:440p (1st sentence) are omitted as surplusage. The words “member of the armed forces” are substituted for the word “person”, since only a member may be “ordered to active duty”.
