For Reservists. By Reservists.
Empowering Reservists.

Who We Are

Friendly Forces was launched in 2022 by currently serving National Guard and Reserve officers in response to a severe increase in mobilizations and deployments among the National Guard and Reserve components of the US military. The founders recognized a gap in readily available, accurate, and aggregated data to help reservists effectively target reserve-friendly organizations with whom to seek employment.

Why is this so important? Because without the civilian job security of its members, the National Guard and Reserve cannot function.

As Friendly Forces began to take shape, the founders realized they could do more for the reservist community, and sought to develop a one-stop shop for analyzing corporate military leave policies, compiling professional development resources, tracking relevant news and legislation, and providing thought leadership.

Mission

Direct reservists towards friendly forces–the employers, programs, and resources that demonstrably support them through action, not rhetoric. 

Vision

Raise the national standard of support to reservists and be the champion for the community.

Why You’re Here

Training exercises…domestic emergencies…overseas deployments…time away from family…loss of income…stifled careers….

Being a Citizen-Soldier/Airmen/Sailor/Marine/Coast Guardsman is disruptive enough already.

Friendly Forces empower reservists to make data-
driven decisions about where to work by highlighting organizations that-through action, not lip service -truly support members of the National
Guard and Reserve and their ever-increasing service to our country.
