The Voice of the Reserve Component
in California and Nevada

We operate 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.
