What training does that army have that the national guard lacks when it comes to standing on a street corner in america?

You're an idiot, what army?

Separation of military and police roles

Whereas the military's purpose is to fight wars, law enforcement is meant to enforce domestic law. Neither is trained specifically to do the other's job. Military and law enforcement differ, sometimes fundamentally, in areas such as source of authority, training in use of force, training in investigation and prosecution, and training in enforcing laws and ensuring civil liberties.[1]:3

The point of the "military" (NG) in the streets in low crime areas is so the PD doesn't have to play whack-a-mole. It allows them to focus on the crime areas.

For instance, not one homicide this weekend in DC.

Here's an example how out CHP which does have the training to deal with arresting citizens and detering crime, and civil law.

Yet even here the point of the CHP support is to allow OPD to focus.

"CHP's sustained presence in Oakland allows OPD to focus resources on responding to calls for service and addressing violent crime through our intelligence-based Ceasefire strategy. We greatly appreciate the CHP's targeted enforcement of traffic violations, auto-theft, sideshows, and seizure of illegal guns and look forward to continuing this important partnership in 2025," Bas said.
