FROM THEN TO NOW: THE HISTORY OF THE PAF RESERVE FORCE

KNOW. REMEMBER. TAKE PRIDE.

From its beginnings to the present day, the Philippine Air Force Reserve Force has evolved alongside the nation’s changing security and defense needs. Remaining a vital component of the PAF’s overall strength, readiness, and capability.

Behind every chapter of its history are Filipino reservists who have answered the call to serve, bringing their skills, expertise, experience, and commitment to the defense of the country.

As we celebrate National Reservist Month, we look back not only to remember where the PAF Reserve Force came from, but also to recognize its continuing role in building a stronger, more capable, and more responsive Philippine Air Force.

From the pioneers who laid its foundations to the reservists serving today, their story is a testament to the enduring spirit of service beyond self.

Because the Reserve Force is more than a legacy of the past, it is a capability for today and a force multiplier for the future.

Kilalanin. Alalahanin. Ipagmalaki.
