    Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve    

    Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve is a Department of Defense office established in 1972 to develop and maintain employer support for Guard and Reserve service. ESGR advocates relevant initiatives, recognizes outstanding support, increases awareness of applicable laws, and resolves conflict between service members and employers. Paramount to ESGR's mission is encouraging employment of Guardsmen and Reservists who bring integrity, global perspective and proven leadership to the civilian workforce.<br /> <br /> Click &lt;a href="http://www.esgr.mil/"&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt; to learn more.
