Palestinian Army Primary Reserve

The Palestinian Army Primary Reserve (Arabic: احتياط الجيش الفلسطيني الأول iḥtiyāṭ al-jaysh al-falasṭīnī al-awwal) is the main reserve force of the Palestinian Army. It is set up to provide competent reserve forces to the Army's 1st Corps, who may be activated in wartime either for replacing frontline casualties or for homeland defence alongside the police and National Guard.

The Secondary Reserve and Tertiary Reserve are responsible to the 2nd and 3rd Corps, respectively, but are much smaller than the Primary Reserve, which has not been activated since the 1994–96 Mount Zion War and more than suffices for the Army's modern reserve force needs.

The Primary Reserve commands a total of approximately 290,000 reservists, and the Secondary and Tertiary Reserves approx. 80,000 each.

The Primary Reserve also sponsors the Palestinian Army Cadets Corps, the largest national cadets program for youth ages 10–17, which teaches leadership, outdoorsman ship and survival skills, each branch of the cadets operating out of its local Primary Reserve garrison.
