What is the minimum incurred active duty obligation for SELRES personnel who are selected for LDO?

The minimum incurred active duty obligation for Selected Reserve (SELRES) personnel who are selected for the Limited Duty Officer (LDO) program is three years. This period is considered essential to ensure that officers have adequate time to serve and contribute effectively to their unit and the overall mission of the Navy. It also allows for sufficient time to complete any necessary training and integration into their new roles after transitioning from enlisted status.

While different programs and enlistment contracts may specify varying obligations, the three-year requirement for SELRES personnel selected for LDO reflects the commitment expected from those assuming a leadership role in a limited duty capacity. This duration balances the needs of the service with the development of the officer's career and readiness to fulfill their responsibilities.
