Who must muster SELRES on active duty orders?

• A. CPPA
• B. PERS-401
• C. VA
• D. DFAS

Answer: (A)

Muster authority for SELRES on active duty orders rests with the CPPA because this role is responsible for pay and personnel actions for Reservists who are activated. The CPPA maintains muster rosters, verifies activation orders, and ensures the activation data is correctly recorded in the payroll system so pay and entitlements are accurate. They coordinate with DFAS to process the pay for those on active duty orders, acting as the unit-level point of contact for accountability and timely compensation. VA handles veterans benefits after service, and DFAS handles broader payroll processing but relies on the CPPA to provide the verified muster data for SELRES on active duty orders.
