What Are the Military Reserve Components Categories?

For nearly four decades, Dr. Jay Johannigman has provided critical and acute care as a private practice and military trauma surgeon. Following a career in the United States Air Force, Jay Johannigman joined the US Army Reserves.

To ensure that there are enough trained and deployable service members, each military branch commands its own reserves. Within each component, service members may hold one of three statuses.

The Ready Reserves describes service members who have completed military training but are not enrolled in active duty. They may be called upon at any time to support domestic and foreign military missions.

Selected Reserves are attached to a unit and are trained for active duty. At a minimum, they must participate in weekend drills once a month and two weeklong drills during the year.

Standby Reserves retain their military rank by performing government or civilian duties. They are recalled to active duty only in crises.

Retired Reserves have completed at least 20 years of service but have yet to reach retirement age. These individuals may be called to duty if their skills are deemed essential.
