Reservists ordered to mobilise (Michael Smith, 04/11/2002, Daily Telegraph)

Enforced mobilisation of up to 10,000 reservists will be announced by the Government this week in preparation for a war on Iraq.

In a move not seen since the Korean War, a Queen's Order will give defence chiefs widespread and highly controversial rights to call up many more people than would normally be available.

Senior officers from all the units involved have been summoned to a meeting at the Ministry of Defence today to be briefed on the mass mobilisation.
