The minimum is 180 days of active service duty.
I think you mean deployed. Yes, females in the National Guard can get deployed.
It wouldn't come own to one single name. When National Guard units are activated and deployed, whole units are deployed, and these will often be activated as attachments to Regular Army units. The National Guard has been involved in OIF since it kicked off, and several National Guard units were called up simultaneously.

Just because you are deployed, does not mean you are immune to receiving any disciplinary charges against you.
Yes. Let me clue you in on a little something - if you wear the uniform, you can be deployed. Think you're too important to be deployed? Your job may be non-deployable, but you.... different story. Now the likelihood of it... probably a bit less, but they're in no way exempt from being deployed.
If you are deployed, it can be for a year or less.
The National Guard's mission changed to include going to wars with the passing of the National Defense Act of 1916. This act authorized the federalization of the National Guard in times of war or national emergency, allowing them to be deployed overseas. Since then, the National Guard has served in various conflicts, including World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
