PEACETIME SERVICE Service during peacetime includes all periods of active duty other than wartime service. Certain VA, other Federal and state benefits are available to peacetime veterans. Note Veterans who served honorably with at least one day on active duty during any of these war periods are eligible for membership in The American Legion.
As the newest type of service, the Reserve was created in the twentieth century to provide and maintain trained units at home while active-duty service members are deployed. Each active-duty branch of the Military has a Reserve component under their command, which is available for active-duty deployment in times of war or national emergency.
