I have heard some griping that the armor problem is more of a Guard issue.
I would guess that it is tied to the fact that regular army gets the good stuff first since they are the ones working 24/7, whereas, in peacetime, the Guard equipment only gets used on occasion.

I've been told that the guard is treated as a second class fighting force (and in many ways they are), and so is basically outfitted with with hand-me-downs from the other services. So it's most likely a combination of worse equipment and less discipline.
