ARMY RESERVE AT A GLANCE THE UNITED STATES ARMY RESERVE IS THE ARMY'S FLEXIBLE, TAILORABLE AND ACCESSIBLE WARRIOR CITIZEN FORCE THAT PROVIDES LIFE-SAVING AND LIFE-SUSTAINING CAPABILITIES TO THE NATION. For more than 13 consecutive years at war, Army Reserve Soldiers have brought skills, honed in the civilian sector, to contingency and Theater Security Cooperation missions across the globe. Today, those same Citizen-Soldiers are bringing enhanced skills to the communities where they Live and work. Organized as the only component of the Army that is also a single command, the Army Reserve is integrated and in direct support of every Army Service Component Command (ASCC) and Combatant Command (CCMDI. with our "footprint" in all 54 states and territories and over 30 countries. Our "plan, prepare, provide" business model allows us to stay an operational force. "Plan" refers to the regional alignment of Army Reserve units to ASCCs and CCMDs. Part of this alignment includes the forward positioning of full-time staffing organized into Army Reserve Engagement Cells (ARECs) and Teams (ARETs). "Prepare" is how the Army Reserve trains its Soldiers, Leaders, and units as part of the Total Force. "Provide" is the actual deployment of Army Reserve Soldiers, Leaders, and units in support of requirements at home (Defense Support of Civil Authorities) and abroad. The Army Reserve represents most of the Army's medical, Logistical, transportation, full-spectrum engineering, civil affairs, Legal, and chemical capabilities. Our Citizen-Soldiers stay sharp in these technical fields through employment in the private sector. The Army Reserve enhances these skills through its Private Public Partnership Initiative (P3il. P3i Leverages partnerships with for-profit, not-for-profit, and academic organizations to advance the training of individuals, Leaders, and units. P3i brings together the best from the civilian and military communities as it provides unique professional and trade career development.

U.S. ARMY RESERVE AT A GLANCE II OPERATIONAL AND READY: VITAL, IN-DEMAND CAPABILITIES The core competence of the Army Reserve is the ability to provide high-quality military capabilities enhanced by the civilian skills, education, training and experience of our Citizen Soldiers. Thirteen years of steady demand for enabling capabilities has resulted in an Army Reserve that is fundamental to the success of the Total Army-in full partnership with the Active Component and Army National Guard. Seventy-five percent of key support units and capabilities such as logistics, medical, engineering, military information support and civil affairs reside in the Army Reserve. Fiscally efficient, the Army Reserve provides nearly 20 percent of the Army's total force for tess than 6 percent of the Total Army budget. This includes half of the Army's combat support and combat service support. ARMY RESERVE 24/7 CALL CENTER : (910) 570-9750 POSTURED FOR SUCCESS Army Reserve capabilities, critical during major combat operations, are also an essential part of the "Prevent and Shape" missions relied upon by combatant commanders. Additionally, our current role in the homeland delivers vital capabilit ies to the lead federal agency in support of state and local authorities in times of natural and man-made disasters. NEW GENERATION OF LEADERS Our highly educated Citizen Soldiers provide professional expertise they have developed in their civilian careers. They are doctors, lawyers, academics, scientists, engineers and information technology specialists on the leading edge of their fields. Our Citizen Soldiers are a new generation of leaders who grew up with technology in their hands, are experienced professionals, and leverage their technical and leadership skills while in uniform. Today, 75 percent of the doctorate degrees and half of the master's degrees in the Total Army are held by members of the Army Reserve. U.S. ARMY RESERVE AT A GLANCE CRITICAL DUAL-USE FORCE Army Reserve forces are an essential partner in preventing conflict, shaping the strategic environment, and responding to operational contingencies, domestically and globally. The Army Reserve is structured to provide operational capabilities and strategic depth to the Total Army and the Joint Force, effectively designed to efficiently deploy enabler forces across the entire spectrum of military operations. Our individual Soldiers, leaders, and units provide the essential federal capabilities supporting security cooperation, Homeland Defense, and Defense Support of Civil Authorities. The Army Reserve's specialized capabilities include medical expertise, aviation lift, search, rescue and extraction, sustainment (food, shelter, and potable water], protection of key infrastructure, civil affairs, and public affairs, not to mention the full spectrum of engineer capabilities. COMMUNITY BASED FEDERAL FORCE WITH LOCAL ECONOMIC IMPACT In addition to a high return on investment to the Army and the Department of Defense, the Army Reserve positively impacts America's economy across the states and communities. Each year, the Army Reserve investment supports local Soldiers and Department of Defense employees; utilities and other services to municipalities; civilian contractors and administrative support; as well as professional, scientific and techn ical services in areas like environmental clean-up and protection-which in turn generates tens of thousands of new food industry, service-related, and other non -DoD jobs. The investment generates essential military capabilities while also creating new income for families and a positive economic climate for local communities. 1111111111 Through initiatives like the Army Reserve's Private Public Partnership, which brings together the shared goals and interests of the private and public sector, and Defense Support of Civil Authorities, the Army Reserve continues to bring immeasurable value to the nation. Accessible through Defense Support of Civil Authorities, Army Reserve Soldiers bring considerable experience and expertise to the homeland. $8.258,1 os:ooo DOLLARS SPENT U.S. ARMY RESERVE AT A GLANCE SHEI]IELD HUNTSVILLE(2) REDSTONE"•ARSENAL(1) FORT MCCELLAN 1111111111 The $13 million JASPER ANNISTON " " ANNISlON(2) " Birmingham BIRMINGHAM(2) • • BIRMINGHAM(2) -+===~ " BIRMINbMAM ··. --~~:\$2z4.Zo.a·~s·a6· ,· .

Fully-loaded, the craft carried all that was needed for the native Yup' iks to begin building a new life in a location remote enough to preserve their current lifestyle and traditions. Sailing thousands of miles and dedicating thousands of man-hours in harsh environments is part of the job-and good training-for these Citizen Soldiers. The difference made for more than 300 indigenous Native Americans in imminent danger of losing their home was immeasurable.

Before the dust settled, insurgents hiding behind a sand berm poured down a rain of fire, using small arms, rocket-propelled grenades, mortars and armor-piercing rounds. As the convoy struggled through the mile-long ambush, Witkowski, assigned to the Army Reserve 's 729th Transportation Company, Fresno, California, returned fire from the .50-caliber machine gun atop his Humvee when he saw the grenade land inside his turret. That's when he made the fateful, split-second decision to shield his comrades, taking the full brunt of the detonation with his body.
