BUCKLEY AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. -- Individual Reservists are eligible to attend the Individual Reservist Orientation (IRO) hosted by Headquarters Individual Reservist Readiness & Integration Organization (HQ RIO), Readiness & Training Team. The next IRO is scheduled for March 24-26, 2020, at Buckley Air Force Base, Colorado.
The IRO equips members with knowledge to make it easier to serve. The deadline to apply is Feb. 7, 2020. Space is limited to 80 seats. All attendees will attend in a School Tour status. Annual Tour or Inactive Duty Training days are not authorized for attendance.
The IRO targeted audience is for newly assigned IRs who are within one year of being assigned as an IR.
