The U.S. Army is asking retired soldiers who served in health care fields if they want to come back on active duty to help deal with the response to the novel coronavirus pandemic.

"These extraordinary challenges require equally extraordinary solutions and that's why we're turning to you," wrote Lt. Gen. Thomas Seamands, deputy chief of staff for Human Resources Command, in an email sent to former service members on Wednesday.

"When the Nation called, you answered, and now, that call may come again," Seamands wrote.

The email with the subject line "Army Announces Voluntary Recall of Retired Soldiers for COVID-19 Response," asked interested soldiers to reach out to the Army if they served in a medical field and remain qualified.
