The Trump administration has decided to re-establish the Ready Reserve Corps (RRC) to boost the public health response to the CCP virus pandemic.

The U.S. Public Health Service has in service a commissioned Regular Corps and an additional RRC that can be called at short notice to assist the former during a public health crisis or national emergency.
