The reserves were established on April 14, 1948 by President Harry S. Truman, seven months after the active duty Air Force was established as a separate service. Originally the reserves were a standby force for use in wartime and national emergencies. The Air Force Reserves became a Major Command (MAJCOM) in 1973 and began working side-by-side with their active duty counterparts. The reserves also perform unique missions such as pararescue and weather reconnaissance. (U.S.Air Force photo/Jim Varhegyi)
