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.
