chiefofarmyreserveAmerica's U.S. Army Reserve
In an era of great power and competition, the Army needs forces able to compete with adversaries, respond to crises, win in conflict, and prepare for the future. To accomplish this mission, the Army needs a dedicated federal reserve force that is ready today and prepared to meet the challenges of tomorrow. That force is the United States Army Reserve.
The Army Reserve provides Soldiers and units to Combatant Commanders, enabling competition around the globe, supporting civil authorities in the homeland and conducting the foundational training required to win in great power conflict.
Nearly 190,000 USAR Soldiers and 11,000 Civilians are present in all 50 States, five U.S. territories, and deployed to 23 countries around the world. The Army Reserve contains nearly half of the Army’s maneuver support and a quarter of its force mobilization capacity at only 6% of the total Army budget. The Joint Force cannot deploy, fight, and win without the Army Reserve.
The Army Reserve is structured with specialized capabilities, including some not present elsewhere in the Joint Force. These capabilities are needed for major combat operations, but too expensive to maintain on active duty, such as theater-level transportation and sustainment. They also represent career skills difficult to retain on active duty, such as medical, legal, engineering and cyber.
We are also SHAPING TOMORROW by bringing innovation to Army modernization efforts. The Reserve has the highest proportion of Soldiers with graduate degrees in the Total Army. Reserve Soldiers hold specialized degrees in law, engineering, medicine, business, information technology, communications and many other high-demand fields and are leveraged in civilian sector career fields such as investment banking, business management, and technology sciences.
Modernization efforts are transforming the Army Reserve's ability to support the Army's role as a multi-domain capable force.
