The Air National Guard acts as both a force of reservists for the Air Force, and as an aerial element which can be called up by state governors. If something happens in the air over the United States, it won't be the regular Air Force which is first to respond - it'll be the Air National Guard.

Why do people who are in the air guard have to move a lot?
If you are a member of the Air National Guard, you do not have to be permanently stationed anywhere.

Although, you can still be deployed if they require you to, but once your tour of duty is up, you return home to your national guard unit.

What department does the National Guard belong to?

The Air National Guard is a branch of the United States Air Force. Like the Army Guard the commander in Chief is the Governor of the state they are in first, then the president of the US ultimately. Technically speaking, the various Guard forces have two "states of being", and, depending on which they are in, they report to different command structures. When in a "normal" state of being, the Guard acts as a state millitia, and reports to the Governor of the state they are raised in. When in this normal condition, the Guard liasons with the National Guard Bureau inside the Department of Defense, for coordinating training and exercises. However, while they may work in conjuction with normal military (active and reserve) forces during this condition, they are NOT actually a part of the other force (and, are not officially under the control of any military branch). When a Guard unit has been "federalized" (i.e. the President decides, with the assent of Congress, that national security requires the services of a Guard unit), control and chain-of-command switch to the relevant armed service branch. So, in this case, an air national guard unit would switch to reporting into the Air Force chain of command, and would be used as would any normal Air Force unit.
What is the radio sign when the president aboard his airplane or any other air force aircraft?

If the President were in an Army, Navy, or Coast Guard aircraft, it would be known as Army One, Navy One, or Coast Guard One, respectively.
