Honest answer? No. If a large percentage of military personnel were activated in the US, it would be the worst time strategically to invade the country.
Or would it? They're activated for a reason. An attack at worst destabilizes them at whatever objective they're aiming for, with a distraction. At best maybe they're so distracted they're unable to stop you.
If anything it would be for surveillance of the US coastline, potential sources of backup power in case of a grid failure, and just good overall prudence if you're dusting off a war game scenario that involves Martial Law.
China doesn't have a Navy that can threaten our coast and if someone were preparing to invade they'd have been mobilizing for months to the point that it couldn't be hidden from anyone.
I can't imagine any scenario that would escalate from Military Police throwing Pelosi in cuffs to firing cruise missiles into the US and I can't imagine a country capable of hitting us with a missile strike being insane enough to do it because it would involve an international response.

Can't subs fire missiles and perhaps intercept incoming enemy missiles etc?
