What year did National Guard go to Vietnam?
Very few National Guard units were sent to Vietnam, even though the draft was in effect. This led to the creation of the Total Force Policy, which effectively established the Regular Army, Army Reserve, and Army National Guard as a single, unitary force, and is the reason the deployment of National Guard units has been so widespread in Iraq (both in 1991 and in the current operation) and in Afghanistan.
