There is no "Florida Army Reserve", although there are Army Reserve units in Florida. The Army Reserve is wholly a federal agency, which the states have no jurisdiction over. The Florida Army National Guard is probably the agency you're thinking of. While no specific number is published, the Florida Army National Guard is estimated to have approximately 12,000 personnel.
In a 2009 estimate, there were 456800 national guard personnel. See the full figures at the Wolfram|Alpha link.
