The Joint Transportation Reserve Unit (JTRU), part of the United States Army, is a component of the Army Reserve and the U.S. Army Reserve Command. It provides reserve capabilities in transportation, specifically for the movement of troops, equipment, and supplies by air, land, or sea. These units are called upon during national emergencies, wars, or other operations where the active-duty forces need additional support. JTRU members undergo military training and are expected to maintain their readiness in their civilian professions related to transportation, ensuring they can effectively contribute when activated. The JTRU plays a crucial role in the U.S. military's ability to rapidly deploy and sustain its forces worldwide.
