You're probably thinking of Lafayette, who was a general in the US Revolution and part of the National Guard during the French Revolution. His full name is Marie-Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de La Fayette.

The army and national guard train together during basic.
He was a general in both the US and the French armies. He even lead the National Guard in France in the days leading up to the French Revolution. He was a brilliant tactician and a major assets for the Colonial Army.
During the revolution, (he was in his very early 20's then) he left France and went back home to Corsica (which was a French colony at the time) and joined Pasquale Paoli who was a freedom fighter and a revolutionist. Through this move, he succeeded in becoming a lieutenant-colonel of the National Guard of Corsica in 1792. Though he was a revolutionary, he did not approve of the way France was going crazy during the revolution. In 1799 he came to power and put a stop to the revolution.
He used terror as a tool of the state to guard the French Revolution.
There are actually two National Guards, but when people say the National Guard they are probably (but not necessarily) talking about the Army National Guard. The other National Guard is the Air National Guard which is to the Air Force what the Army National Guard is to the Army.

There is the Army National Guard and the Air National Guard.
One such individual was Marie-Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier, the Marquis de La Fayette. In most English texts he is called more simply Lafayette.

Thats a pretty short time in the guard so my answer is no.
