"A Call to Arms" lines the walls and highlights the history of the U.S. Army Reserve, and the contributions
and sacrifices of its Soldiers throughout the history of the United States. Photographs, artifacts, and
large-scale graphics take visitors on a journey from the use of militia units prior to the birth of the
United States, through the role of the Army Reserve today, meeting the nation's requirements both home and
abroad.
The history of the U.S. Army Reserve (USAR) is the story of people who rise to the service of their country
in times of crisis and return to their hometown following its conclusion. Today, Army Reserve Soldiers,
including your neighbors, family, and friends, continue to train and prepare. The USAR provides the Army
with both individuals and units critical to enabling and supporting the operational force. The men and women
of the USAR can look to their historical predecessors as examples of the selfless service and sacrifice
required for the security of the United States.
