You should read your own link.

It gives a detasiled listing of what National Guard units were deployed to Viet Nam and where they were deployed to.

IIRC, President Bush volunteered for Vietnam service in the Air Guard, did he not? http://instapundit.com/archives/018057.php

Did you even read your link????

For the Army Reserve forty-two Army Reserve units were recalled of which 35 were sent overseas

On May 13, 1968, 12,234 Army National Guardsmen in 20 units from 17 states were mobilized for service during the Vietnam War.

Air Force reservists were recalled twice in 1968, in January and again in May. In the first instance, two military airlift wings, five groups, and an aerospace rescue and recovery squadron were ordered to active duty on January 26. On May 13, operational elements of a tactical airlift group, including three aerial port squadrons, a medical service squadron, and an aero medical evacuation squadron were recalled

Air reservists alone undertook nearly 1,250 such missions [missions during their annual two week training duty] during the war.
