Were reserves in the Vietnam war?
During the cold war, the activation of reserves was considered an "indicator." If the Soviets caught wind of it (and they would), then they would counter it with a mobilization of their own. Thusly, mobilizations were conducted with extreme caution. 4 Air National Guard Squadrons were activated, deployed, and conducted combat operations in Vietnam: Colorado, New Mexico, Iowa, and New York Air Guards; each equipped with F-100 Super-Sabre jet fighter bombers. These Air National Guard Squadrons flew over 30,000 combat sorties during their one year tour in Vietnam. In addition, the New Hampshire Army National Guard sent their 3/197th Field Artillery to Vietnam, and Kentucky sent their 2/138th Field Artillery.

Did the 34th Division US Army go to Ireland prior to Africa in World War 2?
Yes. The 34th Infantry Division was one of the first US formations deployed overseas, in May 1942, partly as a gesture of support for the beleaguered UK, and finished its training in northern Ireland. The Division is the National Guard of the Dakotas, Iowa and Minnesota, and had been "activated" (or "Federalized") in February, 1941, meaning it went on full time duty under the control of the US Army, rather than its usual peacetime posture of being under control of the various state governors. It usually took two tears to train a National Guard division, which instead of starting from scratch, had to "unlearn" a lot of bad habits, and incompetent and overage officers, appointed for political reasons by the state governors, had to be weeded out. Replacements and additions to the men of the division would have come from all the states, not just the ones which were the National Guard bases in peacetime.
