The Reserve, National Guard, and ROTC have served as the underpinnings for the armed forces ever since and have allowed the nation to adjust the size of the active forces according to the current need without compromising a ready force to capstone AC units whenever necessary. It also bought the country time to gear up on the AC side while maintaining the ability to adequately defend herself in the meantime.
While not always looked upon favorably by regulars, the standing armed forces without the support of the guard and reserve (and the militia during the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812) would have been hard-pressed to realize the victories we've had without suffering greater casualties and at a much greater expense overall.
