Reserves (All Branches):

The Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard all have a branch of the reserves with each offering close to home training on a part-time basis.

National Guard (Army & Air):

The Army and Air National Guard's focus is mainly at the state level, but may be required to assist nationally as well. The Army National Guard also deploys on a part-time basis with the Army.

The Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC):A college program offered at more than 1,700 colleges and universities across the United States that prepares young adults to become officers in the U.S. Military.

In exchange for a paid college education and a guaranteed post-college career, participants, or cadets, commit to serve in the Military after graduation. Each Service branch has its own take on ROTC.
