GUARD AND RESERVEMembers of the Selected Reserve continue to play an increasingly important role in this nation’s defense. Because many members of the Guard and Reserve also have civilian occupations, their challenges are unique. The burdens and sacrifices of the employers of these members have also been extraordinary. AFSA has worked very hard to improve the benefits of those currently serving in the Guard and Reserve, and we will continue to lead the effort on Capitol Hill to attain a better, more equitable retirement system for these patriots.
