Specialized Capabilities

The Army Reserve is structured to manage specialized capabilities, including those not present anywhere else in the Joint Force.

These include:

• Sustainment capabilities that are needed for major operations, but too expensive to keep on active duty when not required, such as theater-level transportation and sustainment.

• Career fields with skills that are in high demand in the civilian sector and difficult to retain on active duty, such as medical, legal, engineering, and cyber skills.
