In time of peace the national guard can be activated by the governor of the corresponding state.
There are AGR (Active Guard and Reserve) personnel assigned to National Guard units. Some personnel are also on active duty status on Title 10 orders. As for National Guard units, there are no full time National Guard units, except when they are activated on orders by the state or federal government; but, there are full time National Guard personnel within some units, usually at larger armories.
it's bad because the Iraqi national guard risk their life, they could be killed at any time.
Yes it can.
The Governor of the state is the main person in charge of that state's National Guard. The President of the United States takes charge of any National Guard unit at any time they want to. An example would be; the Governor of the state deploys National Guard troops to floods and fires around the state when needed. The President will deploy National Guard troops overseas to fight in Iraq and Afghanistan.
No.
Not likely.
Yes.
The arforgen deployment goal timeline for a national guard unit is once every 6 years.
Yes, the national Guard holds training two days a month, and two weeks over the summer. Unless of course you are to get deployed.
Thats a pretty short time in the guard so my answer is no.
The Guard Recruiting Assistance Program (G-RAP) offers financial incentives to National Guard members and civilians who refer individuals to join the National Guard. Participants can earn up to $2,000 for each referral who enlists and completes basic training. The program seeks to expand the National Guard's recruitment efforts by leveraging the networks and connections of its existing members.
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.
