Introduction
The U.S. army has many reserve units that can be called up during periods of mobilization or during the unlikely scenario of an invasion. The army reserve generally consists of ex or serving military personnel who are currently working in civilian jobs within a state. These reservists are given military training but are kept on standby, with orders to readily deploy when their country needs them.
The Army reserve exists so countries can reduce their military expenditure during peacetime, allowing them to focus that expenditure on the development of their professional forces. The U.S. army reserve has been around since before World War One, and after the National Defense Act of 1920 was made an official reserve corps. Currently, the reserve consists of 199,000 soldiers deployed in different units across all 50 states.
