they take the oath of enlistment just like members of the active duty Army and the reserves. This woman knew there was a possibility that she would be called up and deployed not just to Iraq, but to any other place in the world.
The National Guard Mobilization Act in 1933 made the NG part of the Army. Total Force Policy of 1973 required all active and reserve military organizations to be treated as a single integrated force. The idea is that we as a nation would not have a large standing Army.
