Just so, does National Guard deploy more than active duty?

So, in conclusion, no, the National Guard does not deploy more than the Regular Army. Typical rotations for Guard units from a given state can be roughly 5–8 years between deployments as it sits right now. However, Regular army units can see a rotation of as short as 2 years, and in the SF community shorter than that.

One may also ask, can you be deployed in the National Guard while in college? No. Their Guard service will be part time, leaving plenty of time for college and even another job. Can my child be deployed while in college? Yes, college students who are Soldiers can be deployed, but most schools will work with students to smooth out the details in the event that happens.

Keeping this in consideration, does the National Guard go to war?

The National Guard however, is controlled by their respective state. The Army Reserves go to war overseas, whereas the National Guard is meant to stay in the United States for support.

Is joining the National Guard worth it?

Joining the Nation Guard in your state is always worth it because if you are a 17 year old still in high school as a Junior you can serve out two years of an 8 year MSO while in school and never go anywhere - deployment-wise. MSO= Military Service Obligation. Every branch of military has this.
