You have to activate the one you have in play. You can only place (not deploy, the distiction is importan for some game effects) the set aside units when you draw a token of their rank and you have no unit actually in play to activate with that token.

Here's the exact rule:

"When a player draws an order token with a rank that matches a friendly set-aside unit, if they cannot choose a unit on the battlefield with a matching rank , they must place that set-aside unit onto the battlefield, beyond range 2 of all enemy units if able."

You actually have to place the reserved unit one the field. If the only remaining Corp unit (for example) has a faceup order, you cannot activate it with the Corp token you drew from the bag.

You're right, I misread the example missing the "face up" part. In that case he has to place one of the set aside corps
