US Army Reserves

The United States Army Reserve was officially established in 1908 to provide a federal reserve of medical officers for the U.S. Army. Over time, its mission expanded to include soldiers from many different specialties, supporting the active Army in times of need. Army Reserve units have been mobilized for every major conflict since World War I, including World War II, the Korean War, Vietnam, Desert Storm, and the Global War on Terrorism. Today, the US Army Reserve provides trained, equipped, and ready soldiers and units to support national defense and humanitarian missions both at home and abroad.
