Yes The National Guard is a military orginization and you have made a commitment to it. They can and will send you to Jail if you go AWOL Some things to clarify here... the only time you can actually be AWOL from a National Guard unit is when that unit is federally activated under orders which transfer the command from the National Guard to the Regular Army... ipso facto, it's technically not possible to be AWOL from the National Guard, since the unit is no longer National Guard when activated in such a fashion. If you miss UTAs, that's not treated as AWOL.
There are actually two National Guards, but when people say the National Guard they are probably (but not necessarily) talking about the Army National Guard. The other National Guard is the Air National Guard which is to the Air Force what the Army National Guard is to the Army.
If you're called to active duty and you fail to repair, yes. If you simply miss your UTAs, you won't be arrested.
