We used the percentage of personnel assigned to BCTs in each grade to determine
the number of personnel in the IRR that would be available for BCTs by multiplying the
percentage for BCTs by the number of IRR personnel who would report for duty in each
grade of the Army IRR. 184 Figure C.6 shows the calculations and final results.

184 The percentage of personnel who would report for duty is based upon the 63 percent estimate presented in
Korb (2005).
