Final answer:

The Commander-in-chief can call out the army and air national guard.

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, the Commander-in-chief can call out the army and air national guard.

According to Article 2 of the United States Constitution, the President is designated as the Commander-in-chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, as well as the Militia of the several States when called into the actual service of the United States.

This means that the President has the authority to federalize and deploy the National Guard in times of war or national emergency.
