Navy Reserve

The Navy Reserve is the part of the U.S. Navy composed of trained sailors who serve part-time while maintaining civilian careers or education. They support the active-duty Navy by providing additional personnel, expertise, and resources during times of war, national emergencies, or special missions. Reservists typically drill one weekend a month and an annual training period, remaining ready to mobilize when needed. This allows individuals to contribute to national defense while pursuing their civilian lives, balancing service responsibilities with personal and professional commitments.
