What consist of an overseas short or long tour, operational deployment, combat, restricted tour in the army?

Question

Answers to regulations or terms for deployment tour time served. To help process soldiers.

Answer 1

A short tour overseas is usually one year. This includes places like Korea and is usually unaccompanied. A long tour is 2-3 years depending if you bring dependents or not. This is usually a place like Germany, Italy or Japan. Deployment is when you (usually as a unit) move out to another country for various reasons. My hubby has been deployed to Egypt for training and Iraq for combat, along with other various areas. These last any length from a month to a year or 18 months. Temporary Duty is anytime you go to another post location for school, duty, training or other reason. The length of time for this varies greatly.

That's about all I know from a spouses view after 18 years. Someone else may be able to give you more information in these areas. Hope it helped somewhat.

Answer 2

OCONUS Short Tour: 12-24 Month UNacompanied PCS( no family members authorized to join the Servicemember)

OCONUS Long Tour: 36-60 Month Acompanied PCS..Family members are authorized to join the SM, but must pass an Overseas screening first. failure to pass the screening by any member fo the family, however, does NOT invalidate the orders.

Operational deployment: Scheduled excercise that occurs at regular intervals. May or may not involve combat(mock or real), but will almost certainly involve training excercises with other units(and countries)

Combat: using real bullets and bombs instead of the trainers. Not

Restricted Tours: Normally 12 months in a Hot Zone( not to be confused with a short tour)

Either one would be correct. The Marines used to do 13 month "tours" on Okinawa, where they might (or might not) wind up tooling around the Pacific on an amphib. And a "deployment" is not reserved for combat. I deployed to Honduras on a mission and we did not have any declared hostilities in the area. Normally I would refer to a "tour" as an assignment. Soldiers can do a "tour" with the 11th ACR at Fort Irwin...and get home about as much as the guys downrange. "Deployment" means to leave your assigned base for duty somewhere else. The semantics are not a huge issue except to language Nazis. Now, "veteran" and "combat veteran" are two decidely different things. EDIT: F.D.D. Sorry if I confused the issue by putting in the last sentence. I just wanted to be sure that I was clear in saying some things DO make a difference. I know it was not your original question.
