In my opinion any Guard unit that will not support a tasking needs to be closed down and those assets used to support a unit that will go where tasked.
Ma'am, it seems like you have had the misfortune to work with some Guard units that just didn't understand their role. Might also be the difference between ACC and AMC as well.

That may very well be. I have asked this question of numerous folks but no one really seems to have an answer. If the Guard is a state militia I can understand the need for Army Guard units. But why do states need things such as F-22s? Is Alaska going to be attacking any other state in the lower 48? Why are there ANG units with bombers? The Reserves are a different story and I see the use there. But the Guard?
