OK, my husband is in the Army Reserves and recieved a call asking if he would be interested in a stateside deplyment. I have not heard this term before, and I have been around the military my whole life. I understand the two seperately, but not as one term.
Is this a common term for the reserve, and what does it mean?
Please List any sources you may have since I recieved so many different answers yesterday.

Deployment just means called to active duty away from home, it has nothing to do with overseas. Obviously it means does he want to come on active duty for a period to do a stateside job that will very likely not be local. We have a whole lot of reservists picking up slack for us in all kinds of units. It's not that big a deal.

There are stateside deployments of reserve and guard personnel under Operation Noble Eagle. That's the operation plan for defense of the homeland which came into being on September 12, 2001. As I'm writing this, there are armed members of the National Guard around key buildings and facilities in New York City and other locales in the country. Since your husband is a reservist, he can be an individual moblization augmentee (IMA) under Operation Noble Eagle and remain within the U.S. Not all of the IMAs are in the Afghan or Iraqi Theaters of Operation.
Hope this helps clear up the confusion.

Right now there is a lot of stateside "back filling" with the reserves...so basically when someone who is Active Duty deploys, but his job is still needed where he left from they will get some reserves to back fill. It is very common for medical and MPs...other jobs too maybe but that's the 2 I know about. basically he will be gone a year (or maybe longer) to somewhere. He will not be able to bring his family, but he will get the benefits of active duty while he is gone. He is just filling in for an active duty person while they are gone. This is usually known as mobilization.

Could be they are looking for a volunteer before someone gets orders. I went into IRR for the last few months of my 2nd enlistment. Even with 3 months left I received a letter telling me to be prepared to be activated as an Instructor. Someone was gonna go and they were possibly fishing for a volunteer. At this point in time they wanted it clear that it is a CONUS slot.

It mean your husband will be providing support in the United States either in a training positio or bas operations. It is sometimes a mobilization, COTTAD, or COODAS. Also can be called a Conus Deployment.

were in virginia and my husband works with 12 reservists who were activated in Florida for 6 months while some guys from his unit deployed to fill in.....this is probably something like your husband is doing....or disaster relief maybe for the fires.

it probably means that they want to send him to california to help with the fires or elsewhere in the US for disaster relief. or maybe the government knows of an upcoming invasion on US soil that they arent telling us about
(hahaha jk)

I would say that means being activated in a different unit. TDY...

That's something he has to take up with his commander, plain and simple.
