There were two instances of this happening - the first was at the University of Mississippi in September of 1962, and a group of US Marshalls and 3000 federal troops were sent in.
The one you're probably thinking of - and the one which the troops actually came from the National Guard (who had been federalized) - was the University of Alabama, which George Wallace himself had barricaded in opposition to integration. That was in June of 1963.

Why did John F Kennedy send 16000 troops to the University of Mississippi?
He didn't. He sent about 2500 troops, members of the National Guard, who were called in to keep the peace during a volatile time in history. It was 1962, and James Meredith was trying to become the first black student ever to attend the previously all white University of Mississippi. Rioting had broken out, as angry white students and adults tried to prevent Meredith from registering or attending. As the situation turned more violent, Kennedy first sent in about 500 members of federal law enforcement (deputies and marshals) and then called in members of the National Guard to prevent the violence from getting even worse.
Will you be arrested for going awol in the National Guard?
Yes The National Guard is a military orginization and you have made a commitment to it. They can and will send you to Jail if you go AWOL Some things to clarify here... the only time you can actually be AWOL from a National Guard unit is when that unit is federally activated under orders which transfer the command from the National Guard to the Regular Army... ipso facto, it's technically not possible to be AWOL from the National Guard, since the unit is no longer National Guard when activated in such a fashion. If you miss UTAs, that's not treated as AWOL.

Co A 6th RegInfantry National Guard 1886. Where can I find information on someone enlisted in Natl Guard in New Jersey?
You would have to find out which agency in the State of New Jersey has jurisdiction over the state's National Guard, and send a Freedom of Information Act request to them for that person's service records. The National Personnel Records Centre in St. Louis will only have information pertaining to any time they were under federal activation. This answer is given under the assumption that '1886' in your question was a typo. The National Guard was not organised until 1903.
