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.
It would be difficult. It is up to you to attend drills with your unit. You may request to be ING (inactive national guard) by notifying the unit and see if it will be granted.
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.
For the United States: Each state has a National Guard, all have an ARMY NATIONAL GUARD, and most have an AIR NATIONAL GUARD. Few if any still have a State Navy, Marine, or Coast Guard. Example; applies to all United States National Guards: The California Army National Guard uses the same weapons, equipment (tanks, artillery, etc.), uniforms, ammunition, explosives, rank insignia, office equipment, food (rations), etc. as the regular US Army. The California Air National Guard uses the same weapons/equipment/uniforms/etc. as the regular US Air Force. The pay is the same and the rank is the same. When looking at a California Army National Guardsman, his uniform will say US Army on his name tag. His tank, jeep (Humvee today), truck, etc. will say US Army. His pay-stub will say US Army, as will his ID Card. Only his written orders and the name on his Armory Building will say CALIFORNIA ARMY NATIONL GUARD. Enlisted Ranks (US ARMY): E-1 PVT, E-2 PVT, E-3 PFC, E-4 SPC, E-5 SGT, E-6 SSG, E-7 SFC, E-8 MSG, E-9 CSM. Officers: 0-1 2LT, 0-2 1LT, 0-3 CPT, 0-4 MAJ, 0-5 LTC, 0-6 COL, 0-7 on up are Generals. US Air Force Ranks will be numbered exactly the same, but the titles will be different: A PVT (Private) will be an AIRMAN. Pay-grades for all of the services are the SAME. An E-5 in the Army gets the same pay as an E-5 in the Air Force. The United States Army consists of three Armies: Regulars, Guards, and Reserves.
See website: US National Guard. Note: Even though the National Guard is a STATE military, it is still governed by the US Federal Government. The commander in chief for the state National Guard is their respective state Governor, but if the Governor violates Federal Law, then the Guard can be activated (mobilized) as a Federal US Army unit. This prevents one state from going to war with another state; for example Arizona doing battle with California; or Texas going to war with Oklahoma. During the 1930's the governor of Arizona was going to use his Arizona Army (National Guard) to commence war against the US Government over water rights (a dam construction project). If that would have occurred, the US would simply activate the Arizona Army Guard, thus making them a regular US Army unit. Governor Wallace used his Alabama Army (National Guard) to enforce Alabama segregation laws in the 1960's; the US government activated his Alabama Guard, making them a US Army unit, and reversed Governor Wallace's orders.
No. you can live where you want, but it's up to you to attend drills wherever your unit is.
If you are a member of the Air National Guard, you do not have to be permanently stationed anywhere. Like any other national guard unit, you serve the state more then the federal side of the Active Duty Air Force, meaning you shouldn't have to move anywhere outside the state if you choose so. 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.
