Alaska wasn't exactly on the front lines or at real risk of being invaded. Makes sense therefore for reservist troops to take over from a regular unit for garrison duties. Hindsight of course tells us Alaska would soon become yet another front for the US and it's allies (in this case Canada) to worry itself sick over.
