The mission of the National Museum of the Army Reserve is to collect, preserve, interpret and exhibit any objects, images and artifacts related to the history of the U.S. Army Reserve and the Federal Citizen-Soldier.
The Army Reserve was created in April of 1908, but the concept of a Federal force of Citizen-Soldiers dates back to the earliest national militia units in 1763. Unlike their counterparts in the National Guard, Army Reserve Soldiers have no state mission or allegiance. Federal Citizen-Soldiers have played an important role in defending the United States for almost 250 years. The National Museum of the Army Reserve (NMAR) exists to tell their story.
