It comes down to this I am a 7yr Reg Force Cpl...That Reserve MCpl or Sgt etc etc has alto less experience then me in just about everything you could name let alone days in, I would find my life unnecessarily endagered by that person being in charge when he is clearly not ready for it.
I have two Army Reserve buddies, both are cops. One is an Infantry captain and a big city SWAT assault team leader. The other is an Infantry Sgt and an OPP ERT member. Both do 2-3 ops a week. How does thier experience compare?

I do. Train them up and let them deploy. By your approach, you're not giving them the chance to fail, but neither are you giving them the chance to succeed.
You are, of course, aware that Reserve Infantry soldiers from Major on down have been leading Infantry sub units in Bosnia since 2002? Is that experience worthless as well?
