The U.S. Volunteers - Joint Services Command (USV-JSC) draws on the proud heritage of the U.S. Volunteers, authorized by the U.S. Congress as a component separate from the regular Army and state militias. 

​

Today, the USV-JSC has the same legal standing and scope as the US Coast Guard Auxiliary and Civil Air Patrol.

​

Commanders are appointed by the Board of Directors and National Headquarters Staff and are entrusted with upholding the standards, policies, procedures, and regulations of the USV-JSC.

​

We are an organization focused on augmenting the Regular and Reserve forces in two areas. First, the USV-JSC provides trained and uniformed volunteers who may be called upon to render final military honors to deceased veterans at national and local cemeteries. Second, the USV-JSC fills the gap when and where needed by proper authority in incidents of natural disasters.

​

Over the years, the USV-JSC has proven itself to be a professional and seamless addition to Military Funeral Honors.  The USV-JSC has also proven its worth in emergency preparation and response.  Every year, units across the country participate in a nationwide emergency response exercise.  We also successfully conducted a real-world response to the Washington State Floods of December 2025.   

​

The U.S. Volunteers take great pride in their history and look forward to the future as we standup new units throughout the county.
