/ˌæktɪv ˈdjuːti//ˌæktɪv ˈduːti/

The term "active duty" in military parlance refers to the period when a service member is on full-time active service in the armed forces. It is different from reserve duty, when a person is required to serve part-time in addition to their civilian job or education. The word "active" signifies that a soldier, sailor, airman, or marine is currently serving on duty, whether at home or abroad. This could mean being deployed in combat zones, serving in staff positions, or fulfilling administrative roles. The concept of active duty has evolved over time as military needs have changed. In ancient times, soldiers were generally also farmers, artists, or craftsmen, and military service was a temporary or seasonal commitment. The concept of permanent full-time service was developed during the medieval period as standing armies became the norm. The modern concept of active duty in the United States military can be traced back to the National Security Act of 1947, which established the Department of Defense and created a unified active-duty force. Since then, active duty has been a vital component of America's national defense strategy, providing trained and ready forces to respond to threats around the world. In summary, the term "active duty" denotes soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines who are currently serving in the armed forces of their country, committed to fulfilling their roles as defenders of their country when and where needed.
