The Guard is a state militia that can be federalized.
The reserves are a federal componant.

The reserves generally go to external conflict first.

The guard handles internal problems first.

.........
Now just let me get up this soapbox
ok

Ill prepared for battle

Wait Just A Damn Minute !
Look at the record of the guard units in ww1 ww2 korea and nam.

Look who consistantly takes top gun at Eglin with 40 year
old men flying phantoms.

Look who kicked third div's ass in korea in team spirit in 88

the national guard and reserve training at 39 days a year
with 10 % of the budget make one formidble fighting force.

Ill just climb off this box now
