Re: Jets & Planes but no UAV's here.
Many of our escort units in Afghanistan were US Army Reserve units activated for 6 months at a time. Some of these guys identified as Guard also, not sure if there is some sort of dual membership option for the ones that want to deploy. They did the training as a unit before leaving the US.
In this case they had their personal equipment but fell in on things like MRAPs or up-armored SUVs that never left theater.
