Just saw this. It is not a large recall, but it is unusual, and I have not yet seen an explanation. One should be forthcoming and if so, I will add the explanation in the comments. (See the link for proper format.)
I doubt it would have mentioned the Coast Guard, as it did, if there was not an intention to call up at least some Coast Guard Reservists.
Ordering the Selected Reserve and Certain Members of the Individual Ready Reserve of the Armed Forces to Active Duty
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including sections 121 and 12304 of title 10, United States Code, I hereby determine that it is necessary to augment the active Armed Forces of the United States for the effective conduct of Operation Atlantic Resolve in and around the United States European Command’s area of responsibility. In furtherance of this operation, under the stated authority, I hereby authorize the Secretary of Defense, and the Secretary of Homeland Security with respect to the Coast Guard when it is not operating as a service in the Navy, under their respective jurisdictions, to order to active duty any units, and any individual members not assigned to a unit organized to serve as a unit of the Selected Reserve, or any member in the Individual Ready Reserve mobilization category and designated as essential under regulations prescribed by the Secretary concerned, not to exceed 3,000 total members at any one time, of whom not more than 450 may be members of the Individual Ready Reserve, as they deem necessary, and to terminate the service of those units and members ordered to active duty.
This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.

Chuck Hill's CG Blog 
A bit here https://www.politico.com/news/2023/07/13/biden-military-reservists-europe-deployment-00106271?fbclid=IwAR1abRkk_I4RNiKa-6toQ63qtjgsJA6RbCVvJ5mf4UAYt4hT89IbwviNOUc
Have you been called up Chuck? I will start knitting mittens and getting a care package together just in case.
@X, not a chance. I do like to think I am a combat ready 76 year old.

I don’t quite understand what he has done with this.
Ryan McBeth basically called it REFORGER 2.0.
Three reasons for the callup of the reserves: Ukraine war, Ukraine war, Ukraine war.
But I’m not worried — my DD-214 (as well as my age) means I won’t have to go!
The Army already had their chance, when I volunteered for overseas duty while I was on active duty, but the Army snubbed my request to go overseas and instead sent me to armpit of America (which I won’t name, to avoid offending anyone who has the misfortune of living there, but it’s easy to figure out).
The CG has recently been calling up certain retired officer specialties and ordering them back to Active Duty (especially those who have retired within the past 5 years).
While someone may ‘retire” from Active Duty/Reserves, the pay they receive, until age 60 is called “retainer pay” (same formula as “retired pay). Those over 60 are switched over to “retired pay on the books but are also subject to recall – they are the third category to be recalled. Basically, if that happens, the world will soon end as we know it!
I’m betting any USCG call up will be Marine Safety/Port Safety/ Port Security. US is unloading lots of ships with hazardous cargo (ordnance) in Poland and Greece. Might be some good duty, if one gets Greece…
