my husband is deployed right now. he's supposed to come home between march and may of next year. but he's not with his orriginal unit and now his orriginal unit is getting deployed in may. does that mean that my husband will have to go with them too? how likely is it that the military will force him to go? he's in the army guard.

Hmm, that's a tough one. Try calling his original unit and asking. For the most part, if you're part of a unit that's leaving, no matter what your dwell time is, you'll leave too, unless you speak up and say hey I just got back. With his dwell time being less than 60 days, I doubt they'll send him unless he gets overlooked (at which point he'd need to speak up) or unless he really wants to go. But again, your best bet is calling the unit, because the whole "15 months deployed, 12 months at home" applies to whole units. They don't track it by individual people. Good luck!

Since he is in the National Guard it is up to the State to make a determination if he goes with his unit. It is likely that if his job is important in the unit he Will have to deploy. The best course of action for him is to contact his unit commander and ask if he is going to have to deploy with them. If he has plans for him to do so then now would be the time to start finding out how to delay it or stop it all to gather. a lot of time the guard has a 12 month dwel time so he should check with his unit and command.

Generally, he is supposed to have 12 months between rotations. Moving him into another deployment group should have fufilled his deployment obligations, but there is never any garuntee. If they need him, they may force him to join his original unit at a later date. The only one who can give you any definite information is his command. I would suggest contacting his original unit's STAR wife/wives. These are military wives who work as liasons for families of the deployed witht he command. They should be able to tell you who to get in contact with to at least get an idea of what is in the works.

yeap. They don't care that he has already been.. UNITS deploy, so if the unit he is attached to deploys, he goes. Doesn't matter that he just got back.
happened to my cousin's DH. he had less than 6 months between deployments.

yes he can. but only for the remander of the operation. if called up under operation iraqi freedom a reservist and gaurdsman can only serve 24 months total. after that they need you to sign a waver to go longer. i was called up under o.i.f and did 15 months. so i can only be deployed for 9 months under that operation unless i sign a waver. they have to pay you 1000 dollars a month extra anything past 24
months. but i can be called up under operation enduring freedom for 24 months.

Mrs.C has this right, they are suppose to give you 12 months at home after your husband returns home. Thank your husband for me for serving,.. my daughter was in the Army she out now.

Generally, they wont send him back unless he volunteers to go back and sign a waiver. But, it has happened were they will go back.
