Their pay is being cut as well, as federal budget cuts begin to be felt.
About one thousand soldiers and airmen, per state, will find themselves hit by the cuts.
Concerns are high as it will effect the Guard's ability to respond in case of emergency.
This is especially concerning to states that have to deal with natural disasters.
2013 has been a bad year for fires, floods, and tornadoes.
With all of those still being worried about, it is also the beginning of hurricane season.
If a major catastrophe was to hit, the Guard would not be able to respond as quickly or smoothly as before the cuts.
Their very motto of "Always ready, always there" is in danger due to the cuts.
