The House Armed Services Committee says 46% of the army reserves (meaning Ready Reserves, not the retirees) have been mobilized since 2001.
My understanding was that that's the number slated directly for Iraq/Afg, but that a significant number, reaching well into the Standby, had also been called, but used domestically to replace admin/operations functions vacated by active types going overseas. The remaining reserves are at the "not-quite-useable" stage due to training and funding deficits. So, there aren't many left to call up and send over.
