Generally no. Military working dogs require training each day. Kennel are set at post, Camp and station. Handlers and the dogs are set to static active duty units. Individual handlers with dogs and crates are deployed in numbers based upon the unit mission and where. Handlers and dogs shared pods in Iraq when Inwas deployed there.

The only 31K I've ever seen outside AD was ONE in the CTARNG.

Negative. They have the slots, but will never get the handle. The slots are place holders for when they go forward and an AD unit augments

From my understanding there is only one K9 unit not in active duty (so national guard, or reserve) but they are on active duty status.

Generally no. It is an AD assignment from what I have seen.
