The Army Reserve is a diverse organization, full of people from varying civilian occupations. The U.S. Army Reserve is rooted in the tradition of the
American Colonists who would serve, protect and defend this country whenever, wherever it was needed. George Washington and Alexander Hamilton proposed a
contingency force to support the Army that would be centrally controlled by the Federal Government.
