The Voice of the Reserve Component
in California and Nevada

104 YEARS OF SERIVCE

Established on October 2, 1922
as the Reserve Officers Association

The Reserve Organization of America operates where other organizations cannot, serving as a trusted advocate for Reserve and National Guard service members--officers, enlisted, families--at every level of government. With its unequaled credibility on America’s Reserve Components, ROA is a powerful advocate in Congress, the Pentagon and VA, and policymaker offices throughout Washington. ROA leads the nation’s efforts to ensure the Reserve Components are strong and ready, and Reserve Component families are well cared for.

All members are invited to the monthly Department Meeting on Wednesday, October 28th

Turn Easy Company’s Wartime Journey Into a Fitness Challenge
Honor our World War II Forebears

Twenty-five years after HBO’s Band of Brothers introduced millions of viewers to the paratroopers of Easy Company, the National WWII Museum is giving fans a considerably more physical way to follow in their footsteps. Beginning Oct. 1, the New Orleans museum and the Crescent City Classic launched the “WWII Challenge: Easy Company,” a virtual fitness event that retraces portions of the unit’s World War II journey from training at Camp Toccoa, Georgia, to the Bavarian Alps. Participants do not have to recreate the 101st Airborne Division’s marches across Europe. Instead, they can log miles by walking, running, biking or using a treadmill from wherever they live.
