I suspect that they are un/underutilized since the RC reapportionment in the early 90s.
Combat units were transferred from the Reserves to the Guard, and Combat Support/CSS units were supposed to go from the Guard to the Reserves.
Unfortunately, states did not want to lose the support units, especially the ones with disaster relief capability, so they were kept by the Guard.
Now the Army Reserve is much smaller than it used to be, and probably has an excess of facilities.
Just my .02, YMVM.
