I’m sure HRC can make the necessary adjustments for you to transition to RA status so you can have a better chance of deploying.

[@tonydawg]

As of 2022 I’m 22 been in for 3 years and been to 3 continents and countless countries and a deployment. Active duty Infantry deploys. You have less of a chance of deploying if you work a desk job like Matt(no shame). If you want to deploy go get an 11b airborne. Paratroopers don’t die they just slip away. AATW

[@FizzyBoobele]

If your national guard/reserve....its easy to "volunteer" for deployment without using mobcop/tour of duty (hint: it sucks)...anyways what you need to do is google units that are deploying or getting ready to deploy, or call your buddies from basic/ait...then you need to talk to that state's/unit's recruiter and ask to transfer to that unit to deploy...it work almost every time...as long as your GREEN on everything and you contact them early (not too early,unless you want to do drills with that unit prior) but also not to late

You will rarely if ever hear that term outside Basic, well, unless it's in passing or a joke. It can be completely random, normally closest bunk mate, but it can be whoever you are assigned. One DI had everyone find a BB on their own. It was the funniest scene I ever saw. They were fumbling over each other to figure out who was going to be with who.

[@kennethmorgan6516]

Any reserve mobilization over 29,000 deducts from Army end strength. At least during “peace time”. This in effect limits reserve/guard deployment to 29,000. The Army Reserve/National Guard is around 550,000. Deployments are usually one year. So statistically, absent another Iraq or Afghanistan war, chances of being deployed, probably once during a 20 year career. Of course some units deploy more often. Others less. It’s a simple mathematical equation. With deployment schedule, most units won’t be deployed during a 4 or 5 year cycle. Again do the math.

Since you would most likely be going to Latin America, wouldn't you just be stationed at a base rather than be deployed? I am not sure if I am correct, but civil affairs reserves are not considered special operations, only active duty. I think they perform very similar tasks though.

[@jaketaylor2923]

I think they’re still special operations, they were just transferred from SOCCOM, not sure why they wouldn’t be the same category, they do the same thing.

[@Mursmurs325]

Mr. K.I.S.S Yeah I heard it’s random and you never really know. I was trying to gauge his personal experience as well.

[@bruceleealmighty]

It can be random, if by random you mean if someone in the unit is booted because of bad conduct the commander is highly likely to do an unscheduled test. They can test everyone, or test random individuals (and by random I mean specific people suspected of breach). I'm a strict no alcohol, carbonation, or caffeine person. (Retired 25 years service) a few of the guys like me. Total 'Teetotalers' all were RANDOMly tested on a regular basis. Sure looked good on report after we were tested though. HA!

@@bruceleealmighty I'm looking in to this MOS right now! I was wondering how often you deploy overseas? Thanks for any help!

[@bruceleealmighty]

@@ronny8537 OK, The standard: SOF is 6 months on 6 months off (The 6 months off just means stateside, including training) Combat Arms (General) is one step away from that 6 mths on 6-9 mths off, Normally 3-6 months training Combat Support the next step 4-6 mnth on 6-9 mnths off. again 3-6 months training Combat Service Support 3-6 mnth on 6-12 mnths off again 3-6 months training Normally you would think that a Nodal Network would be in a very rear part of the military. Normal is anything but normal anymore. The above numbers are general TO&E and readiness standards for the Army. But, it's funny how some units never seem to be deployed. Depending on your preference you may find yourself slotted in a position that is going absolutely nowhere, not because your abilities are lacking but your unit isn't going anywhere unless the entire earth is at war. No matter what you hear from those that say get along to go along and don't volunteer, you will not advance unless you do. Make sure you do your duty and research Regulations regarding your MOS and your unit SOP. Be ready to cite any differences an inspection insists you've done something outside standards, Be sure to cover yourself with regulations. Be the unit lawyer if you will. So, to answer your question as directly as I can. If your unit is up to standard and deployable. Normal non critical 25N will be Combat Service Support (CSS). On the occasion that the unit may be forward then you can enjoy Combat Support (CS) status. Actually often more advancement opportunities for those that take these positions.

I concur. You don't want to avoid a deployment once the ball is rolling. Everything from time of notice to deployment is meant to get ready. They still have Castling but I don't know if you can find someone that wants your slot when it usually isn't with the unit they were originally with.

[@matthewkramer9948]

Nowadays reserve and army National Guard deployments are usually under or around 12 months. If they keep you longer than 12 months they have to increase your pay by a pretty significant margin so they try to have you home prior to the year mark. More often than not, they run around 11 months.

You're an S-6 OIC with a year out of BOLC? You S-6 Soldiers are probably wondering why it took so long and question your leadership. How to Deploy: 1. Unit is deployed 2. You're individually selected to fill a deployment 3. You volunteer and are approved to deploy with a deploying unit. Civil affairs is under USACAPOC but is not Special Forces. Why do you have unit patches of units you've never been in? You know nothing about deployability. Do not give random statistics and whether or not units are "up to the task". You get orders, you deploy, you go home. You don't prove you're able to do the job until you are at the mob site, already on order, and complete the equivalent of a situational training exercise.
