This occasion not only commemorates the enduring legacy and contributions of the Air Force Reserve but also shines a spotlight on organizations like Millbrook Support Services Inc. that play a pivotal role in supporting veterans transitioning from military to civilian life, especially those who have served in the Air Force Reserve.
The Air Force Reserve was officially established on April 14, 1948, under the National Security Act of 1947. This act restructured the military components of the United States, leading to the creation of a separate branch for air operations—the United States Air Force—and with it, the Air Force Reserve. Over the decades, reservists have played essential roles in national defense and humanitarian efforts worldwide.
