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.

     All members are invited to the Department Meetings every 4th Wednesday of the Month. 

 

ROA’s next ReserveConnect webinar on July 14, 2026, at 7:00 p.m. ET, will cover our exciting International Programs, including those linked with European/NATO allies and South America. Hosted by our Executive Director, MG John Hashem, USA (Ret.), this webinar will include overviews of each program, experiences of officers and NCOs involved, and how you can get involved. Register for this Zoom meeting and view past Forums.
