National Guard Vs. Army Reserve

I get asked this all the time! 👇🏻
👉🏻what’s the difference between the National Guard and the Army Reserve? In the simplistic form: we are both reserve components (Part-time) of the Army. The Army Reserve is federally funded and the National Guard is both federally and state funded.
National Guards main mission is to its respective state, FIRST!

National Guard is bigger than every branch or discipline and is the Force. Reserves are simply Support to the Active Component

[@TheMschick22]

Yup. 👍 Army Guard is over 40% of the Army total force. Air Guard is 37% of the total Air (& space) force.

[@Grunt-Barra]

The United States Army Active Duty and Reserve are run by the federal government and the president. The United States Army National Guard is the state side run by the governor of that state. If the federal government oversteps, it is up to the state/governor to decide which side of the fence the National Guard stands on (Minutemen). It is also the National Guards job to deal with disasters within the United States over the federal government. The National Guard IS the well-regulated state militia. The governor of the state is the one who determines whether to obey, or disobey, orders given by the federal government. We get paid by the state, for orders coming from our governor, we get paid by the federal government, for deploying and taking orders from the president. You do not gain benefits from both sides, unless you have taken part in both sides, you don't automatically get both. -National Guard Infantryman

The governor of the state is the one who determines whether to obey, or disobey, orders given by the federal government. - Sort Of but the President can still use them. Little Rock 9 for example. The President can just Federalize the National Guard and send them where needed. - Air National Guard Medic.

I've already passed the ASVAB test and I'm going to boot camp next month. I'm excited and scared at the same time because I'm leaving my 2 year old daughter but I know it's for the best for her. God in charge. I have this KZbin channel but when I get back I'm going to think about creating one just to talk about my experiences in the National Guard. I’m ready to go yeah ❤

[@christopherfreeman3357]

But if you want to switch to active duty from the national guard, it’ll be a pain in the ass to do so. Not only you’ll have get permission granted by the Federal Government, but you’ll need permission from your state governor as well. So, that’s why I choose the Army Reserves, so when I finish college I can easily switch to full time.

[@jonasmcclain2134]

Why not commission or go full time in the guard? They have full time jobs that pay the same as active duty (it’s listed under AD)

[@jakezamora9444]

Why this old head playing some among us trap music 😂

Does that mean being a National Guard has more benefits than being an Army Reserve?! I was under the impression as a foreign person that the Army Reserve has more benefits than National Guard

[@taylorsmith9197]

I am not a recruiter, but i have done my ASVAB and am a few weeks out from (hopefully) getting medical clearance and have done a ton of research and have talked to both branches. This video pretty much sums it up well from my perspective. There are some things the reserve get vs National Guard. But if you are looking at say tuition reimbursement, go National Guard as you can pull from both Federal and state funding and you get the same Federal funding a reservist would.

[@THEMUSCLEHAMSTER15]

Dude just go national guard over reserve. Don’t wait your time with the reserves unless you want a certain job (MOS). But active is better, just sign a 3 years and you’ll be chilling.

[@noneofyourdamnbusinessstill]

If you sign 3 years instead of you dint get all the VA benefits though right? Or wrong??? ​@THEMUSCLEHAMSTER15

[@alfasierra254]

In other words, if you want to be under the will and mercy of politics in your State join the National Guard Boys Club. And good luck if your situation in life changes and you want to transfer to Active Duty Army... You better be in good standing with those donations to the party.

after 90 days of serving the National Guard will release you to AD.

[@Austin-gb1cq]

Guard needs combat MOS' based on the Congressional bill that formally declared the Guard as the "militia" as defined in the Constitution.

[@TheEmpireAnimations]

Yeah you get more federal benifits in the reserve than the guard the guard is state funded and they get sum federal

[@Noah00G]

Not true, the national guard also receives a lot of funding from the federal government and you get all the same federal benefits

[@ARNGEducation]

The Army National Guard receives both State and Federal funding. When it comes to education, ARNG Soldiers could receive Federal Tuition Assistance and State Tuition Assistance. Of course, State TA varies from state to state.

[@FilamNation]

It makes sense because national guard came first

[@saif8355]

Why reserve dont have combat mos it doesnt make sense logically

[@Jdelli0916]

The objective of the reserves is to support the efforts of the active duty military. They have support MOS not combat. It makes perfect sense. Each state has its own national guard. These guards can act in a cohesive effort with the active military or on their own which is why they have combat MOS. Make sense?

[@Jdelli0916]

National guard also has its own special forces for that same reason.

[@TeamWillBob]

It’s also to force Congress and the president to work together for deployments

[@TheMschick22]

Go, SGT!!! 😁

[@arncedergren4819]

So the nationel guard are they like nation guards? Becuse in the game: the walking dead saints and sinners they talk alot about how there is a national guard bunker full of disaster relief supplies in new orleans. So is the national guard defence in their state aka response team to a invader or some thing like that or are they some thing else? Pls some one explain cus i cant see the diference between a heavy version of the police and a defence army pls help me figure out what their purpes is in diferent scenarios like ehat is their thing.

[@matt59fire]

You are pretty much correct. Its a state based military force. That can be called to active duty by the president

[@Grunt-Barra]

​​​​​​​@@matt59fireThe president does not have power over the National Guard, only the governor of that state has power. It's if the governor agrees to the federal orders. If the government took aim at the civilian population of the United States, the governor is the one who determines which side of the fence to be on. Technically the National Guard is a part of Homeland Security. I was an Infantryman in the National Guard.

@@Grunt-Barra It can be called to Federal duty by the president. Im not going to even read that.

[@bucketrance]

MOS? You are making video for a public

[@micheal67]

MOS means Military occupational specialty. It means the job you choose.

[@karinamcdonald6284]

So what does that mean federal vs state benefits ?

[@iguardconcord]

Army Reserve only get Federal Tuition benefits and retirement. National Guard gets both federal and state tuition and most states offer a supplemental retirement after x amount of years.

[@vaughn1376378]

How does that help if National Guardsmen want to use education benefits in a different state 🤔?

[@user-ou5je3es5r]

You transfer what guard your in that simple.

[@ARNGEducation]

Most States have their own regulations and policies for their State TA, of course they want the money to go back to their respective state. If you want to go to an out of state school, you have the option to use your CH1606 GI Bill and Federal Tuition Assistance, if eligible. You also have the option to do an interstate transfer. If you're in the guard and need help deciding which benefits to use contact your State Education Office.
