I'd be prone to disagree. The Reserve components (including the National Guard) have been suffering substantially higher attrition rates than their regular counterparts, because the Reserve training schedule (one weekend a month, two weeks a year) does not allow them to be trained to the level of proficiency which a regular would be trained to. It's one of the reasons the National Guard now has their 'Active First' option, so that members of the National Guard can spend some time in the active Army, and receive substantial training of the sort they would not receive by spending their entire career in the National Guard.
