{{Main| Primary Reserve}}
The Army Reserve is the reserve element of the Canadian Army and the largest component of the [[Primary Reserve]]. The Army Reserve is organized into under-strength [[brigade]]s (for purposes of administration) along geographic lines. The Army Reserve is very active and has participated heavily in all Regular Army deployments since 2002, in some cases contributing as much as 40 per cent of each deployment in either individual augmentation, as well as occasional formed sub-units ([[Company (military unit)|companies]]). LFR regiments have the theoretical administrative capacity to support an entire [[battalion]], but typically have the deployable manpower of only one or two [[platoon]]s. They are perpetuated as such for the timely absorption of [[Army recruit|recruit]]s during times of [[war]]. Current strength of the Army Reserve is approximately 18,500.<ref>{{Cite web |last=National Defence |first=Canadian Army |date=2017-05-04 |title=Canadian Army Reserve |url=https://www.canada.ca/en/army/corporate/reserve.html |access-date=2024-10-16 |website=www.canada.ca}}</ref> On 1 April 2008, the Army Reserve absorbed all units of the former Communications Reserve.
