(Aug. 4, 1949, ch. 393, 63 Stat. 524, § 422; Pub. L. 99–348, title II, § 205(b)(10), July 1, 1986, 100 Stat. 700; renumbered § 2503, Pub. L. 115–282, title I, § 114(b), Dec. 4, 2018, 132 Stat. 4223.)

Historical and Revision Notes

This provision is desirable because many enlisted men and low-ranking officers may now retire with higher grade which they previously held on a temporary basis. If recalled in the higher grades, they might not be capable of holding same at the time of recall. 81st Congress, House Report No. 557.
