On April 23rd the U.S. Army Reserve will celebrate its 116th Birthday. This month, the Army Reserve is honoring the men and women who embrace their roles as “Citizen Soldiers” by continuing a proud and distinguished legacy of service within the total Army and across the Nation as a community-based force.

The skills these Soldiers bring both in and out of uniform add substantial value and depth to the force. They are doctors, lawyers, academics, scientists, engineers, cyber specialists, police officers, first responders, transportation specialists, administrators, and more – and they’re at the top of their fields. Whether performing combat missions and contingency operations, or saving lives and protecting property in cities, towns, and communities, the Army Reserve has, and will, continue to offer versatile, available, and effective capabilities for the American people.

The Army Reserve supplements the Army’s operational and strategic capabilities at large, providing units with unique and in-demand skills across military intelligence, civil affairs, engineering, cyber, medical, legal, and aviation fields and beyond.  Serving at least one weekend a month and two weeks a year, usually within 90 minutes of home, Army Reserve Soldiers provide a critical link to both the public and private sectors.

The strength of the Army Reserve lies within Soldiers’ diverse backgrounds, cultures, and history. Each Soldier contributes to an adaptive and culturally astute Army Reserve that further enhances their capabilities around the world. Since 2001, Army Reserve Soldiers have been mobilized and routinely deployed in dozens of countries around the world and have made a positive impact in communities right here at home. From natural disasters to national emergencies, the Army Reserve has never failed to answer the Nation’s call.

Join Brigadier General Fred Hockett, Deputy Commanding General – Support, United States Army Recruiting Command, as he discusses the significance of the Army Reserve’s 116th birthday and highlights the Split Training Option, which allows high school juniors to get a head start toward a career. He’ll also talk about his career and the many ways the Army Reserve is preparing Soldiers to serve, lead, and shape the future.
