REAP was established as a part of the Ronald W. Reagan National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2005. It is a new Department of Defense
education benefit program designed to provide educational assistance to
members of the Reserve components called or ordered to active duty in
response to a war or national emergency (contingency operation) as declared
by the President or Congress.
This new program makes certain reservists who
were activated for at least 90 days after September 11, 2001 either eligible
for education benefits or eligible for increased benefits
