reasonable time shall be allowed between the date when a Reserve
member ordered to active duty under this section is alerted for

that duty. Unless the Secretary determines that the nature of the
domestic emergency does not allow it, this period shall be at least
two days.

a member whose statutory Reserve obligation is not already
terminated; and

in authorized travel to or from that duty, to all rights and
benefits, including pay and allowances and time creditable for
pay and retirement purposes, to which the member would be
entitled while performing other active duty.

shall not be counted in computing authorized strength of members on
active duty or members in grade under this title or under any other
law.
(e) For purposes of calculating the duration of active duty
allowed pursuant to subsection (a), each period of active duty
shall begin on the first day that a member reports to active duty,
including for purposes of training.
