Abstract
ABSTRACTNational Guard and Reserve service members have some of the highest rates of posttraumatic stress disorder in the military. Despite similarities between the 2 groups, the groups maintain separate roles in warfare, with the National Guard component having a more combat-oriented role than does the Reserve component. This study examined the differences in posttraumatic stress symptoms between 305 National Guard service members and 349 Reserve service members residing in the southwestern region of Pennsylvania. National Guard service members had significantly higher averages of posttraumatic stress symptoms than did Reserve service members. Further clinical implications are discussed.
