MOB DEPLOY REDEPLOY DEMOB How It Works Army National Guard

In this video, I give you the oversimplified (but long) answer to a simple question from the National Guard sub-Reddit: How long is the DEMOB process?
Hang in there, I eventually answer the question but first give you context to how a unit is selected, Mobilize (MOB), Deploy forward, Redeploy, and Demobilize (DEMOB).
Here are a few references I mention in the video:
The U.S. Military Request for Forces process (RFF) is covered under Joint Publication (JP 3-35 - Deployment and Redeployment Operations) and this is a tool used to request support by a Combatant Command once an enduring need is identified. www.jcs.mil/Portals/36/Docume...
Here’s another lengthy resource that covers Resource Management produced by the Army War College, if you find yourself with some downtime during drill weekend: www.g8.army.mil/references/ht...
I also discuss the 11 Combatant Commands. Below is a link to the DoD page outlining them except for the Space Command. You’ll need to google that separately but as of summer of 2019, it’s a real thing. Not sure why it’s not listed on the DoD website. dod.defense.gov/About/Militar...
CORRECTION: I reference DoD military "divisions" but meant to say military "departments". They are Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Coast Guard, and Joint Chiefs.
Additionally, I discuss the role of USFORSCOM in managing and resources forces to support Combatant Commands. You can read more about it here: www.army.mil/info/organizatio...
and a great article about FORSCOM here: www.army.mil/article/225195/f...
Task-organized under FORSCOM is First Army. Here’s a link to their site: www.first.army.mil/
Here’s a great article on the DEMOB process: www.army.mil/article/84766/de...
A little about National Guard Bureau (NGB) as referenced on the video on the link below. However, keep in mind that within NGB you have Army National Guard (ARNG) and Air National Guard (ANG) which are both T10 (federal) entities that oversee strategy and resourcing for their National Guard.

Here’s another little nugget on deployment/redeployment cycle: www.military.com/deployment/d...
I’m sure I missed something but as I know you’re good NCOs, I’m sure this is sufficient to get you started on your research.
Enjoy!

This video helped me out so much, my ANG unit (Half the brigade and half the support battalion) is mobilizing next year and not having any knowledge of anything, this gave me a full picture of what to think about.

[@angeldones3864]

As a “Part Time” 1SG my self I find this and all your videos very educational. You keep it “real”, engaging and really simple. Thank you so much for the time you invest in these. I am sure you could be doing doing other things, the fact that you choose to do this speaks to the character you have. THANKS... We need more 1SG like you in these units across the US. 1SG Dones HHC 700 OKNG

Thanks battle. To be honest, this all started with me spending way too much time digging through regs attempting to answer questions I should have already known the answers to. After collecting a bunch of notes, I made the jump to record and share these nuggets with others. I figured that if I had these questions, others may as well. If more people like me and you stay curious and continue passing on our knowledge, we'll leave our replacements with a better NG than we inherited.

[@angelt.6971]

Thank you so much for taking your time and posting this. These kind of videos really help us understand what I happening, whenever we do get mobilized.

[@PartTime1SG]

It's my pleasure. If I'm going to spend the time learning the information anyways, I might as well share it with others, right?

[@h.jonasrhynedahll1013]

Thank you very much for posting your videos. I have enjoyed all of them. I have a son and a nephew who are in the NG and your information has been very helpful for me. I especially like these videos which cover NG deployments, as my son is scheduled to deploy in the coming year. Keep the videos coming!

[@PartTime1SG]

Thank you for watching. I didn't anticipate my videos helping families.

[@DagaYute]

Great video Sgt - as a clueless direct commission officer this is super helpful.

[@PartTime1SG]

Glad it helped Sir. And in the vent you're rolling out the door in the near future, stay safe and have a productive deployment.

Interesting

[@leeshelton8023]

Went AD oda, released after got back ocous

[@W3ND1G0]

What’s a typical length for deployment?

[@Romeo-hb9lr]

about how often does an ARNG IBCT deploy/redeploy?

[@PartTime1SG]

it depends on what type of missions your state signs up for from NGB. You are generally in what it's called the "ready year" every 6yrs but there are other factors as well.
