home reserve
Noun 1. United States military reserves recruited by the states and equipped by the federal government; subject to call by either: This term refers specifically to a component of the U.S. military reserve forces. These units are organized and recruited at the state level but receive their equipment and primary funding from the federal government. They have a dual status, being subject to activation by either their state governor (for state emergencies) or the President of the United States (for federal missions).
- The governor activated the home reserve to assist with disaster relief after the hurricane.
- Soldiers in the home reserve train one weekend per month and two weeks each year.
- The home reserve provides a vital link between the community and the national defense structure.
- The term is often used in official military, governmental, and historical contexts to describe this specific legal and organizational status, distinguishing it from active-duty forces and other federal reserve components.
- It can be used attributively (like an adjective) to describe related concepts, e.g., "home reserve unit," "home reserve duty."
- National Guard: This is the common, modern name for the force described by the term "home reserve." In contemporary usage, "National Guard" (Army National Guard and Air National Guard) has largely superseded the term "home reserve."
- State Militia: A historical and legal term related to the concept of the home reserve, emphasizing its origin and state-based organization.
- Reservist: A general term for a member of any military reserve force, which includes members of the home reserve.
- National Guard
- State Guard (historically)
- Militia (in a modern, organized sense)
The term "home reserve" is historical and formal. Its core meaning is tied to the U.S. system of a dual-state-federal military force. It does not refer to: * A personal supply of goods kept at one's house (that would be a "home reserve" of food, which is a compound phrase, not this specific term). * General military reserves of other countries. * A sports team's backup players (a "home reserve" on a team is a compound phrase).
