Rating: 4.8 (52 reviews)

The Army reserves is the reserve component of the US Army, which is made up of both the Army Reserve and the National Guard.

Those serving in the reserves have a much smaller time commitment when compared to the active duty forces.

With that said, you will still get paid to serve in this capacity.

Like the other branches of the military, the US Army reserve pay is dictated by your rank and the length of time you’ve been serving.
