Marine Forces Reserve

Marine Forces Reserve is the part of the U.S. Marine Corps comprised of trained reserve Marines who support active-duty units. They typically serve part-time, often while maintaining civilian careers, but can be called upon to deploy in times of national emergencies or military needs. Their role is to bolster Marine capabilities, provide specialized skills, and ensure readiness without being continuously active. This reserve force enhances the overall strength and flexibility of the Marine Corps, contributing to national defense through strategic support, training, and rapid deployment when required.
