A GO-TO FORCE
The Navy Reserve prides itself on being the go-to force that provides valuable, vital support to all areas of the Navy. As individuals and as units, Navy Reserve Sailors serve side-by-side with Active Duty counterparts in direct support of the Fleet -making the most of proven and potential abilities as they lead lives of pride, purpose and heroism on a mission that serves a greater cause.
In the Navy Reserve, men and women from all walks of life join together to experience unrivaled training, undeniable purpose and uncommon adventure.
SELECTED RESERVE (SELRES)
This group is the largest and most relied upon of the Ready Reserve. It consists of:
- Drilling Navy Reserve Sailors/Units – These are designated Navy Reserve Sailors who are available for recall to Active Duty status. They serve as the Navy’s primary source of immediate manpower. They typically fulfill the traditional service commitment of one weekend a month and two weeks a year. They receive many of the same benefits and perform many of the same duties as their Active Duty counterparts. This includes people on initial Active Duty for training.
- Full-Time Support – These are designated Navy Reserve Sailors who perform full-time Active Duty service that relates to the training and administration of the Navy Reserve program. They may be assigned to shore activities, commands, or operational units. They are not typically reassigned to different locations as often as those on regular Active Duty, but they receive the same pay, allowances and benefits as Active Duty members.
INDIVIDUAL READY RESERVE (IRR)
This group consists of people who have had training or have previously served in an Active Duty component, or in the Selected Reserve:
- Inactive Status – These members of the Individual Ready Reserve do not drill, are not obligated to take part in military activities. They do not receive pay or benefits.
- Active Status – People assigned to the Individual Ready Reserve may be eligible to receive pay or benefits for voluntarily performing specific types of Active Duty service.
