Moving things from active to Guard and vice-versa is a normal activity.

I seriously doubt they'll be rotated back to the NG in a couple years.

This to me looks like a way to keep from buying additional choppers by dipping into the reserves.

The Army is doing a huge aviation reorganization. One of the things they are doing is getting rid of Kiowas. They are going to try to do the scout role with Apaches instead. Yeah, I know that is two totally different classes of helicopters, but that is their story. Sounds like they want to park all their TH-57s and replace them with Lakotas, as well. That is another head scratcher when it comes to saving money.

After a generation of sand wars etc. we may be that depleted in material and money. Our resources are as frail as our liberty.
