There is an acronym AGR which stands for active guard reserve. This is for members that are on active duty with the Guard or Reseves.
Over 1,000,000 soldiers serve collectively in the Active Army, Army Reserve and Army National Guard.

Total force Concept
The US Army National Guard and Air National Guard are the United States' military reserve force. The National Guard forces may be called into active duty by their respective governors to aid in times of domestic emergencies such as natural disasters. Deployment to foreign soils for sustained active duty operations is also possible such as was seen following the September 11 terrorist attacks.
There is no Army National Guard basic training. It is basic training at one of the US Army's active duty training base. All active, reserve, and guard members train together as one. The platoon guide is basically a leader of the platoon.
