Quite frequently, especially in the last nine years. The National Guard is always present at any civil crisis in the US, and, ever since the Total Force Policy went into effect in 1976, have been subject to widescale deployment, the same as the regular forces. National Guard units made up a significant portion of the US force in Desert Storm. Force 2000 began rotating National Guard units into peacekeeping/presence missions, such as those in Bosnia and Kosovo. And the last few years of the war in Iraq have seen times when the number of National Guard soldiers in-country have surpassed the number of regulars.
State and national emergencies, and activation to active duty status during declaration of war.
The Army National Guard is a reserve force of the Army. The Army is active duty. The term National Army has not been used since shortly after WW1 in the U.S.
The National Guard is used by the states in times of emergency such as major floods. Each state governor has control of that state's National Guard. Members of the National Guard can be called by the Army in times of national need to protect the United States of America. The army is under the command of the President. They serve to protect the United States.
People used to join the Guard for just that reason: to stay out of the regular Army that got shipped overseas and not used to bolster a destroyed dying military the way they are used now in Iraq.
The same ones they use in the Army.

The differences are pretty widespread. The Regular Army (active Army) is a fully federal, full time force. The National Guard, on the other hand, has a state role, as well as a federal role, and is composed of part-time soldiers. Since the National Guard serves in the role of the state militia, they are permitted to be used in law enforcement activities when activated at state level, whereas the Regular Army cannot be used for domestic law enforcement duties unless the Insurrection Act is invoked.
