YOUR VOICE FOR THE RESERVE COMPONENT

ROA is the only national organization solely dedicated to advocating for and supporting Reserve and National Guard service members across all branches and ranks. ROA helps you stay informed, supported, and competitive while ensuring your service is represented where it matters most.

RESERVE COMPONENT BILL OF RIGHTS

Our Reserve Component service members may serve on a part-time basis, but they make a full-time impact. And it is our responsibility as a nation to take care of our reserve forces and their families and provide them with the pay, benefits, and support they’ve earned while serving us and our country.

Our reserves have a RIGHT to these benefits, and ROA is here to champion our reserves and support them on every step of their journey. And our Reserve Component Bill of Rights will be our guidepost.
