The U.S. Marine Corps Reserve marked its 109th anniversary on 29 August, commemorating its establishment by Congress in 1916. The Department of Defense praised the force’s dual role of reinforcing active-duty Marines during wartime and supporting domestic communities in peacetime. More than 70,000 reservists currently balance civilian careers with military obligations, embodying the Corps’ ethos of “Semper Fidelis,” senior defense officials said. Lawmakers across both parties issued statements honoring past and present Reserve Marines for their continued readiness and sacrifice.
