National Guard and Army Reserves don't mix together. They are not transferred to the other. This was tried back in 2003, they mixed units from different branches of the Army and that didn't work out as well as they hoped. Mainly because the BS of one branch is better than the other came into play far too often.

Guard also has a shorter rotation than reserves as far as deployment time goes.
