TY - JOUR PY - 2011// TI - Reserve Forces—After the Cold War: An International Perspective JO - Armed forces and society A1 - Griffith, James SP - 209 EP - 215 VL - 37 IS - 2 N2 - The topic of reserve military service began with the citizen-soldier who performs military duties periodically, fending off community threats. Now, the reservist routinely performs full-time military service in support of national security operations. Evident in this shift are matters of importance, such as the preparedness of the reserve force, staffing the reserve force in its new role, the demographic and social representative-ness of the force, and so forth. Authors from different countries examine these and other issues concerning their reserve forces. Common content and themes in the articles are briefly described.
