Certainly they are. A key here is that when a reservist is called up and the orders are for a date in the near future, they're effective now. A person who enlists is covered when they report - i.e. the date the orders have them "employed."
As an example, I enlisted 8 months before I reported. I wouldn't have been covered until I reported. If I was now a reservist and I got orders to deploy in Feb. I would be covered now.
