On Aug. 19, 1916, with the prospect of World War I looming, the Navy Reserve Force was formally organized. The first official U.S. Navy Reservists hunted enemy U-boats from the cockpits of biplanes. When World War II erupted on September 1, 1939, the Navy Reserve was ready. By the summer of 1941, virtually all of its members were serving on active duty, their numbers destined to swell when Japanese planes roared over Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Over the course of the ensuing four years, the Navy would grow from a force of 383,150 to one that, at its peak, numbered 3,405,525, the vast majority of them Reservists, including five future U.S. presidents. In the 1990s, more than 21,000 Navy Reservists supported Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm.
