The Army Reserve honors the legacy and service of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The theme this year's observance, “A Day On, Not a Day Off,” encourages everyone to dedicate the day to community service in remembrance of the civil rights leader and activist and to instill his principles of unity and equity throughout the world.

We stand ready anywhere, anytime. This past year U.S. Army Reserve Soldiers engaged in missions that helped us lead as a global force.
