That said, a few months ago I researched the subject and found the following:
Chapter 8 Army Reserve Soldiers Reaching Active Duty Retirement
8-1 Reserve Soldiers Reaching 20 Years AFS
Some RC Soldiers
mobilized or on ADOS/COADOS orders, may attain 20 years of AFS while mobilized and “not sanctuary”. These Soldiers should contact the Transition Center and RSO office for assistance when seeking a 20-year active duty non-disability retirement. See enclosure D, Memorandum dated 8 February 2010, for guidance on AFS Retirement (Not Sanctuary).
In these situations, advise the Soldier to contact HRC-Ft. Knox to acquire the necessary documents (statement of Service, DD Form 1506, etc), verifying the Soldier has completed 20 years of AFS. A representative from HRC will certify the documents and the Soldier’s request for retirement. The installation RSO should contact HRC, Ms. Sheila Dorsey at 502-613-8950 for additional guidance.
HRC staff will provide: Written authorization to retire the Soldier from active duty. Statement of service that reflects all service time, specifically AFS.
For RC Officers who want to retire with 20 or more years AFS, but are no longer on Active Duty orders, contact: LTC Angel Liberg at: [email protected], Phone: 502-613-6702.
For Enlisted RC Soldiers no longer on Active Duty orders, contact: Mr. Scott Kuhar at [email protected], Phone: 502-613-5461. Note: This was from a 2011 guide and those folks are probably gone, but phone numbers might be valid.

You might call the two telephone numbers listed; I suspect the points of contact have moved on.
Other:
1. 7200 points is not required for reserve retirement upon reaching the age requirement. Twenty "good years" is the requirement.
2. Opinion: Generally, a reservist who attains 20 good years and 7200 points cannot automatically retire and receive an immediate reserve retired pay. It is my understanding that
RC Soldiers mobilized or on ADOS/COADOS orders can retire under those circumstances and receive retired pay as an AD retirement. The three subject matter experts listed above can better explain the rules and laws for this matter.
3. Years of Service for Retirement Entitlement. This category of years of service includes each one year period in which the person has been credited with at least 50 points, as follows:
- 1 point for each day of active service
- 1 point for each attendance at a drill period
- 1 point for each day of performing funeral honors duty
- 15 points for each year of membership in a reserve component
4. Years of Service for Retired Pay Percentage Multiple. YOS for retirement percentage multiple determines the years of service for computing the retired pay multiplier. This category of years of service includes all periods of active service (counted as one point for each day) plus all points earned through qualifying reserve duty, not exceeding annual limits,
divided by 360.
