Executive Summary
Established AVR units operate in twenty five states, as well as the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Task forces, or individual members in the process of developing units, represent us in all fifty states. In terms of the history of our volunteer military support to local communities, one of our units has been doing such duty for more than a decade.
The AVR is a non-profit public benefit corporation and has been granted 501(c)(3) status by the Internal Revenue Service.
AVR volunteer soldiers wear uniforms that are modified much like the various state defense forces, the Civil
Air Patrol and the Coast Guard Auxiliary. We have distinctive shoulder sleeve insignia, cap devices, buttons,
lapel brass, headgear, nametags and BDU organizational nametags. This allows for immediate recognition of the
fact that we are not federal military personnel.
