See that is one of the advantages that UK and Canada has over the US in my opinion. Then again it would really only work for National Guard units since those units were more or less local raised. Where a small depot detachment much like in the UK system would keep recruiting.
Again in practice with the US Army, once the National Guard were federalized, their local flavor would be lost quickly.
I don't know how much it would work in WWIII. Especially since so many replacement would be needed to send to the front to replace loses.
