Is there some kind of rule or guidelines? Or how often do people actually get deployed throughout their career?

what about the people that have been deployed for over a year? how does it work for them?

The rules for Reserve Component soldiers has just changed but the rule of thumb is 1 year deployed and 5 years at home for Reserves and National Guard and 1 year deployed and 3 years at home for Active Duty.
If you make the military a career for 20 years. you can be deployed 4 times in the RC and 5 times AC.

Traditionally, military personell were deployed only for limited periods of time to combat zones. This was true even in World War 2. Then, the standard was deployment to combat for 1 year, with the remainder of one's service time being served in non-combat roles. People could volunteer for further combat service--but even then and later in Vietnam, such additional service was on a volunteer basis only.
However, President Bush has in recent days removed all such restrictions. Now, our troops can be sent into combat and kept there for as long as he pleases--whether regular active duty, reserve, or national Guard. There is no longer ANY limit on how long a person can be held.

deployments vary your usually home for awhile in between deployments. my husband is navy and spent nearly 2 years doing work ups before his ship deployed of that 18 months i saw him a total of about 10 weeks. if that he was gone alot and is now been deployed for nearly 4 months. deployments are the primary job of the military if you dont want to deploy dont join

The rule is different for each branch. Also, we are at war, I think there is a waiver of all pre agreements when it comes to war. They can be deployed as much as deemed useful when it comes to war. My nephew fulfilled his oversees duty agreement with his first deployment. He is leaving for his second in Feb. Any reservists or inactive duty people can be called to active status as well. To find out more, contact the branch you are interested in.

the quantity of time a individual spends deployed to a wrestle zone whilst contained in the Air rigidity in basic terms approximately completely relies upon on their AFSC. the army deploys alot, because of the fact maximum of their jobs are appropriate in some thank you to wrestle, the place because of the fact the Air rigidity has alot extra jobs no longer immediately on the subject rely of wrestle. some human beings can stay stateside, or a minimum of no longer in a wrestle zone, maximum of our careers contained in the AF, because of the fact our jobs can't be carried out contained in the AOR. Or atleast, no longer in Afghanistan or Iraq.
