I went over in the second wave, was there for 11 months, 26 days, for a full deployment of 14 months (mobilization, and de mobilization) My Ex-wife has been there for goin on 19 months. The difference is I went as Engineers/ Ammo. specialist, She went as Civil Affairs/ Special Opps. I believe the military occupational specialty plays a vital role in the durration of the deployment.

A combat unit will generally rotate for 6-12 months depending on how much action they see. A support unit will go for anywhere for 12-18 months because they (on the large margin) will not see any action.

As long as the war does not end. The terms of others are shortened for medical reasons or reaasignment to other units.
