These activities are designed to complement the official training provided by the Finnish Defence Forces, ensuring that reservists remain proficient in their roles. The federation also plays a role in promoting a positive attitude towards national defense and voluntary defense work within Finnish society.

Membership in Reserviläisliitto is open to all individuals who have completed their compulsory military service or civilian service, and who are committed to supporting national defense. The organization is structured with local branches across Finland, allowing for widespread participation and engagement. It collaborates closely with the Finnish Defence Forces and other national defense organizations to achieve its objectives. Reserviläisliitto emphasizes preparedness, skill development, and the importance of a strong reserve for the security of Finland.
