What is The Navy Reserve?
Support to the Fleet… Ready and Fully Integrated.
The Navy Reserve is a full partner with the Navy’s active
duty component. Comprised of mission-capable units, the Navy Reserve
is a vital component in the defense of our nation. Navy Reservists
serve side-by-side with their active duty counterparts in direct
support of the Fleet. They can be found on station, at home and
abroad, on shore, in the air, at sea, on active duty, and on the
drill deck, augmenting the Fleet as an active part of the greatest
Navy force the world has ever seen.

grade and time in service. You will also be compensated for any
additional days you choose to serve.

as cost-of-living increases and additional pay increases for years
of accumulated service. These increases are paid out at the same
percentage as those serving on active duty.

dependents will be compensated at same rate as active duty Navy

You will become eligible for retirement pay at age 60, following
20 years of credible service (active duty with Reserve or Reserve

dies before reaching age 60, an optional Survivors Benefit Plan
will provide an annuity to eligible beneficiaries.

Advancement in the Reserve is based on the same guidelines and principles

and the overall needs of the Navy and Navy Reserve.
