But the RDF Sourcebook makes it sound like the entire pre-war regiment deployed to CENTCOM with all three battalions.

You'd think at least a battalion would be handy as a raid force for 7th Army early on.

It could be that the 4th Bn remained at Benning School for Boys to train a whole new battalion, in addition to individual replacements.
