The Ohio Military Reserve (OHMR) is one of three separate components that make up the Ohio State Defense Force (SDF). Like other SDF's the Ohio Military Reserve functions as a reserve to the Ohio National Guard.
State Defense Forces are not eligible for federal funding and must request their assets from the state. However, like most other SDFs, the Ohio Military Reserve is almost entirely self-funded. Personnel are unpaid for their training and must provide their own uniforms and equipment.
The OHMR serves under the Adjutant General and is headquartered at the in Columbus, Ohio.[2]
As of 2023, the OHMR operates as a brigade level entity. It's sole brigade is the 4th Civil Sustainment and Support Brigade.[3]
The OHMR has a "sister service", the Ohio Naval Militia which operates out of Camp Perry, located near Port Clinton, Ohio.[4]
