The reserve units deploy more than the active duty units and many of the gaurd and reserve do it full time rather than part time they are called ARTs because it use to be that they didnt have to wear a uniform when they were off orders but still hired on as a civilian. Hope that answers some of the technicallities for you.

I think it is good that I am in a point of growth that I can empathize with them too.
Having had para-military contracts, you don't get to decide where you get shipped like a piece of equipment.
Their roles were logistics, supplies...etc U.S. central command said there was a broad air-defense umbrella in the region using systems like patriot and thaad, which are primarily designed to intercept ballistic missiles. And large incoming threats at higher altitudes
…but not the small, low flying “kamikaze” drones that Iran has been using in this conflict.
Iran’s attack drones are intentionally cheap, slow, and fly low making them hard to detect on radar and difficult for your conventional air defenses to intercept effectively.
In missions abroad, you rarely ever do resources management equally. There are consequential weaknesses that come with prioritizing specific systems..and the higher-ups know exactly who will get purged first.
It is a calculated sacrifice.
I do wonder though if the soldiers themselves knew they were compromised. Or didn't have the slightest clue.

I suspect Iran used one of their propeller driven drones. They are made of wood and styrofoam and pack a hefty warhead. Very hard to detect but deadly. The same were used on the radar sites that the US installed around the Middle East. The radar cost almost 1.5 billion dollars and were removed by drones that cost 1000 dollars. Not a good trade.
