Line 27:
* Various characters in the ''[[Honor Harrington]]'' series are mentioned in passing as being members of their armed forces' Reserves. Typically, such characters will be a bit older and wiser than their similarly-ranked companions, and officers of the Grayson Space Navy reserve forces are mentioned as having slightly different rank insignia.
* Frequently shows up in the [[Ryan Verse]] by [[Tom Clancy]]. In particular, a brigade of the North Carolina National Guard plays a pivotal role in ''Executive Orders'', General Gennady Iosefovitch Bondarenko manages to field an entire division of reservists in ''The Bear And The Dragon'', and John Kelly (later [[Badass|John Clark]]) is threatened with being recalled to active duty since he checked the box for joining the reserves in ''Without Remorse''
*In [[The Lord of the Rings]] Hobbits are described as having a Shire Muster. The only time it sees combat in the book is toward the end when they face bandits. However a long time ago they had repulsed an orc-raid. They had also sent archers to join the expedition to destroy the Witch-King of Angmar, in alliance with Gondor, what was left of Arnor, and the Elves of Rivendell. Then too the Brandybuck clan which lived on the borders and were [[Proud Warrior Race Guy|Proud Warrior Race Hobbits]](yes there is such a thing, [[Downplayed Trope|well sort of]]) are described by Merry as fighting off evil tree spirits from the Old Forest. And in the book itself they even ''try'' to assemble a force to defy the Nazgul though they really didn't know what they were getting into.
