This requires a TS with SCI and im curious if they would do a polygraph for this? This is the national guard.

If so what kind of questions would they focus on?

For that level of clearance, very likely they would, and the FBI (or a DOD investigative agency) would do a full background investigation as well.

jmont,

I held a TS SCI clearance when I was a reserve army intelligence officer and was not required to submit to any polygraph screening "test." That was some 20 years ago, but I believe that the policy is still the same: for military personnel, polygraph screening is not a general requirement for a TS clearance with SCI access. However, if one is "read on to" a special access program, polygraph screening may be required. In such cases, DoD uses a counterintelligence-scope polygraph interrogation, in which relevant questions concern matters of national security, but not so-called "lifestyle" questions such as drug use or sexual behavior. DoD uses a polygraph technique called the Test for Espionage and Sabotage (https://antipolygraph.org/articles/article-002.shtml). Virtually everyone who is polygraphed with this technique and does not make any substantive admission ultimately passes (https://antipolygraph.org/forum/index.php?topic=42.msg130#msg130).

Certainly if any military assignment called for working with the CIA one would very definitely be polygraphed by the "Agency". :-?
