Yes, I think this one of the point that GDW got right, for in 1999 and 2000 there was limited fighting largely due to the troops trying to grow plots of food. Lot of attention would be diverted to keep food in their bellies. Also some would be diverted to replace what the former supply chain was no longer supplying.
For the growing of crops as among other things the Soviets would be somewhat ahead of the curve, of some of the Reserve/National Guard/Territorial units. Yet one has to remember after couple years of fighting, everyone will be on level playing field. Even in the US Regular Army there were people who would special jobs while they weren't in the field.
By 1999 time frame, yeah some units will be able to achieve the learning curve faster than others.
