Active Reserve (Czech Army)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Active Reserve (in Czech Aktivnà záloha) is a part of the otherwise professional Czech Armed forces. This service was created to allow participation of citizens with positive attitude to the military.
A volunteer needs either to have completed the compulsory military service (which ended in 2004) or to attend 8 week training. Then the reservists have to serve up to three weeks a year and can be called to serve two weeks in time of non-military crisis. They are not intended to serve abroad. The Reserve presents itself on events like BAHNA, a military show.
