I'm guessing that those troops who properly maintain their M-4 are keeping it, and the ones carrying the AKs are the same ones who lack the inclination to maintain their 5.56 carbine.

The ones carrying the AK's are most likely the gunners and TC's who would otherwise have only their 9mm pistol. They're tankers. No tank battalion has enough rifles for everybody.
