The Ohio Military Reserve serves under the Governor as Commander in Chief through the office of the Adjutant General.  Our primary mission is to provide a cadre level of trained units and equipment capable of expanding in times of necessity to protect life and property, and preserving peace, order, and public safety.   In order to accomplish this role OHMR units are trained in security, medical support, disaster assessment, shelter management and much more.

Citizens of Ohio, from all walks of life, serve a proud and personally rewarding tradition as members of the OHMR.  Use this site to learn more about your state defense force.   Prior military service is not required to be a member, only dedication and a sense of duty to your fellow citizens.  Visit our recruiting links to speak with a recruiter in your area.
