Reserve personnel are Federal military personnel who have one commander in chief, the President. They perform duties as called on, and revert to inactive status when not required.
National Guard (and Air National Guard) hold dual statuses. When in Federal status under Title 10, U.S. Code, they work for the President. When in state status under Title 32, U.S. Code, they work for their state governor.
Think of the National Guard as state military personnel, meeting federal standards, who the President can call to duty as needed.

National Guard have a dual _peacetime_ role. In time of peace they train under the standards and authority of the US Army but are available for service if called by the state Governor.
In time of war - they can be inducted into federal service (thus ceasing to be 'National Guard' and becoming 'Active Army') when they are released from active duty they revert to 'National Guard' status.

A national guardsman can be called to duty by either the Governor of their state or the president of the USA. A reservist can only be called to duty by the president. Otherwise they do the same thing.

Bill is correct.
The first reply is an IDIOT !!!

The National Guard belong to the State unless activated by the Federal Government.
The Reserve belongs to the Federal Government.
