reinforcement units.
Hmmm...I'm not sure of that. A lot of the regular QOR during WW2 were returned to the Unit from reinforcement Units. They were SOS'd as injured to hospital, after recovery were brought on strength through reinforcement Units. They weren't holding Units for misfits or malcontents. If a soldier returning wanted to go to his original outfit that's where he ended up in most cases.
The attrition rate was such that openings were always there.
