Naval Reserve

The Naval Reserve is a component of the United States Navy that allows civilians to serve part-time while maintaining their civilian careers. Reservists train regularly and are prepared to be called upon in times of national emergency, war, or specific missions. They provide the Navy with additional personnel, expertise, and logistical support, enhancing its capacity without full-time commitment. Reservists typically participate in drills, training exercises, and can be activated for active duty when needed, serving as a vital force multiplier to support naval operations globally.
