Several friends of mine transferred over to the IRR last winter and all but one got pulled back up to a drilling unit within 6 months or so. It's not a rare as you might think. While the active duty force is indeed shrinking the USAR is still well below its projected man power needs.
A drilling unit that was about to deploy, or just a regular "one weekend a month" type gig? I didn't even know the Army could compel people to start drilling again. I know reserve units used to pull in a lot of IRR dudes, but in my experience it was always them filling out their books before a deployment.
