Army Reserve Command

The Army Reserve Command (ARESCOM) of the Philippine Army was established on January 1, 1977, to oversee the organization, training, and operational readiness of Army reserve units across the country. Tasked with mobilizing reservists for national defense, disaster response, and community support, ARESCOM has played a vital role in augmenting the regular force during both peacetime and emergencies. Over the years, it has developed extensive training programs to maintain the competence and discipline of its reservists. Today, ARESCOM continues to serve as a critical component of the Philippine Army's total force, embodying the spirit of citizen soldiery and readiness for service.
