re: Former Active Duty Military Disdain for NG or Reservists

The National Guard is structured like the active component, in units (brigades, battalions, companies). Reserves seem to focus more individual augmentation, like ones and two's you might need to round out your manning document.
The only reserve unit I ever saw deployed as a stand alone unit was a reserve engineer company in Kuwait.

The one positive about the Reserves over the Guard is the promotions. In the Guard, it is hard to get promoted if there is a shite load of people in your MOS.
