How to Find a Army Reserve Unit

Army reserve officers may serve a variety of duties within their unit.

The federal reserve force of the United States Army is called the United States Army Reserve. While the United States Army is comprised of the full time--often called active duty--forces in the United States military, the Army Reserve and the National Guard serve as part-time members--often called inactive duty--of the military. Army Reserve soldiers may be located anywhere in the country, with duties that range from combat to support and training. "Army Reserve soldiers are the most diverse group in the Army, and come from a wide variety of communities and backgrounds," according to the United States Army Reserve official website.
