Does being a 91b in the national guard instead of the active army mean you will not get to do as much as regular army when deployed?

when you deploy - your status is "Active" - you will be an asset that will be utilized to your capabilities. whether its inside the wire or outside. you will be tasked to go on recovery missions, along with doing you primary MOS. Don't fret it troop.

My experience with Reserve and National Guard units outside of Combat Arms is that many run circles around their active component counterparts. To use my old Engineer unit as an example, my maintenance people, drivers and equipment operators generally did the same thing in the civilian world and had four or five time the experience of some E4 out of AIT for a year. The Combat Arms guys just don't get the trigger time of most of their active brothers, which especially shows at levels above the Company, but generally have recently been integrated into Operations quite effectively.

I just returned home from Kuwait. I am in the national guard as a 91B. We maintained our equipment just like the active duty units that were stationed in Kuwait with us. As far as outside the wire missions we didn’t have any come up as it wasn’t a combat deployment, but from what my NCOs said when they were in Iraq they went outside the wire on missions all the time. Hope this helps
