Air Force Reserve Command

The Air Force Reserve mission is to provide combat ready forces to Fly, Fight and Win. Operating in various locations around the world, the Reserve has evolved from a "stand by" force for emergencies into a Major Command (MAJCOM) of the active duty Air Force. The Air Force Reserve currently performs traditional flying missions and other more specialized missions, such as Weather Reconnaissance (Hurricane Hunters), Aerial Fire Fighting and Personnel Recovery (Pararescuemen).

The Air Force Reserve is an integral part of the nation's defense. Reservists perform the same missions and work alongside Active Duty Air Force members. You're able to pursue your civilian career or further your education while you continue to serve your country!

If you have previously served in either the active duty Air Force or another branch of the military, your adjusted age must be less than 40. (Subtract your years of service from your age. If the result is less than 40, you may be eligible to join the Air Force Reserve.)

Candidates with prior military experience will not have to repeat Basic Military Training (BMT). You can continue your service, and, in many cases, keep your rank. You can also join regardless of the U.S. military branch in which you previously served, including other Reserve and National Guard components.
