It's usually longer than the active duty guys get deployed for. My husband is active duty, on average active duty deployments are for a year. I've heard of some national guard units going for 18 months to 2 years. And sometimes they get very little time at home before they are deployed again.

They are activated for a period of two years, one year is boots on ground in the combat zone they are sent to.

No one seems to know - their deployment gets extended according to "conditions on the ground." They get sent back for more and more deployments -
I bet even Rumsfeld doesn't know.
