What is the difference between active duty and reserves in the army?

[Edit]

Active Duty sends you after a short while of time to a certain place after training. While Reserves sends you after a certain time depending on how long you signed up. [ex. My brother signed up for 4 years, hes had training and after the 3rd year he goes to iraq for the last year then he is free.]
