When is the President commander-in-Chief?

According to the US constitution, Article II, section 2 it is "The President shall be commander in chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the militia of the several states, when called into the actual service of the United States;", which means he's not Commander-in-Chief unless there is a declared war. That's what "called into service" means.
