That's right AussieNick. The reserves or National Guard usually (we have both), especially in times of war, get in essence what's left over from supplying the active troops with what they need to wage war.
It makes complete sense that when new equipment comes on line, that the serviceable equipment being replaced be reassigned to those units in reserve. It doesn't make economic sense to try to supply everyone with brand new equipment. It'd be nice but...
