How often do the part time Navy Reserves get deployed?
I don't know if this still happens today but my first enlistment was USNR … my second was USN. To this day I don't really understand why that was so. I deployed on a carrier just like any other sailor … or airdale in my case. There was no difference at all in my standing as a member if the US armed forces except for an extra “R” on my leave and earnings statements.There are reservists, who's job is to train and be prepared to be activated in time of need by the Navy. I did a year or drilling with them upon my separation, mainly because I missed the camaraderie. I stopped drilling to pursue a college degree. Oddly enough, the reservists are truly unprepared for the real thing, often requiring significant oversight to do simple tasks. Well simple for me, I did the job for 8 years, the TAR guys left very early when I was around, they knew I had the shift covered. I think the objective was to maintain a certain level of familiarity … which shortens the job training required when the shit really hits the fan.Forgot to answer the question … as a reservist … i.e. weekend warrior, which is what I think you are talking about, you report to your drill site one weekend a month, plus the once a year 2 week commitment, where you're basically active duty for 2 weeks. The one weekend a month is typically local whereas the 2 week deal might land you in some exotic locales … just depends what's going on. Hopefully, you have a military friendly employer who will allow you to be off 2 weeks drilling and you basically trade checks. You give them the military check, they pay you your regular salary. You can also use vacation time but it's better when you keep your vacation and the company is just willing to do it civic duty.You always have the potential to be mobilized. This is the true essence of being a reservist, you are telling the US government you are willing to drop everything to do your part in our nation's defense. Once mobilized, you are active duty and they will release you at their leisure. Again, some employers do the check trade in this situation, but they are required by law to hold your job while you are deployed. It's usually easier when you know where your employer stands on this.
How often do US Marine reserve units deploy?
When you sign the line to be a Marine Corps Reservist, at a minimum you agree to six month of active duty where you go through Marine Corps Boot Camp go through MOS traing unless you are infrantry then it's additional combat training. You must attend an all day Saturday and all day Sunday training session once a month. Sometimes it's overnight other times you go home and come back Sunday morning. In addition, every year you are obligated to attend a two week summer camp where you will lean additional skills - for me one year we had cold weather training, another year it was a very short sea school, another requalfing with your rifle, sometimes it was war games with another company. In today's Marine Corps Reserves, deployment to combat area is common. So you must always be ready to deploy and a relative short notice.It should be noted unless you spend more than 181 days active duty, you do not qualify for VA care, buriel in a national cemetery and a host of other things. This all changes should you be called to active duty and deployed to a war zone. I was in the reserves during the Vietnam war and not a single reserve unit was deployed. That was the call of the Congress as the war was so controversial.The commitment of a reservist is at least six years and in the past, as long as eight years in the reserve service. I spent seven and a half years.
Do Army Reserve units get deployed often?
About 0 since you'd be in a training support unit. Reserves don't have combat arms units. Edit: Yes, the Army's Reserve Component Infantry (and combat arms units) are in the National Guard. That's why the National Guard is bigger than the Reserve though combined they make up about 1/2 of our total Army. There are some enlisted programs that may exempt you from deploying particularly if you are interested in pursuing a commission. Deployments were every 2.5-4 years or so for the Guard but they've been slowing down. My unit has been home about 2.5 years now and we're not even sure we're going to get a mission next year or not and we're TRYING to get one. It's very possible you can get all four years done in a row but it may not happen. College will be there when you get back. At worst, you'll have to take one year off. It's NOT a big deal and it will make you a much better soldier and pay off much more in life experience than a year of BS 100 and 200 level classes and drinking.
Marine Reserves deployment?
Hi, I'm a high school junior looking into the Marine Reserves for while I'm in college and I have a few questions. First of, at this point in the war, what is the chance of me getting through all of my college before being deployed? Obviously, if the war ends due to a new president, it will be different, but if it were to go on, what would the chances be? Secondly, are Marine Reserve casualties as high as active duty Marine Corps and US Army casualties? Are they deployed to as dangerous zones? And is the training for the Marine Reserves as demanding and difficult as active duty Marines? Thanks.
Can Marine Reserves get deployed?
Of course. That is what reservists are for. They are deployed in times of conflict.
How often do US Army reserve infantry deploy?
Depends. If the Pentagon decides units need to deploy, they deploy. While reserves *SHOULD* deploy less, that's not always the case. If everyregular brigade, division, whatever size element they need has already deployed, then reserves might be activated. It depends on what's needed, where it's needed, etc. Just like you could join a unit (even as an 11 series) and do never deploy, you could join a reserve unit and never deploy, or you could be deployed 2 time in 4 years.
How often are United States Marines deployed?
It's highly dependent on the rotation schedule of the unit you are assigned to. I had the unfortunate luck of being assigned to an Air Wing squadron that did a Team Spirit Exercise & a Western Pacific Deployment in the same year my first full year in the fleet for a deployed time of 275 days out of 365, which is a 75% deployment rate, & then the following year did occasional deployments to get ready for my second WestPac the year after that. By the time we were released from the Carrier Air Group, I had over 450 days of sea time in 3 years. Then the following year came Operation Desert Shield & Desert Storm which was an additional 7 month combined land deployment in Riyadh & Dhahran Saudi Arabia, instead of a sea-based deployment aboard a ship.But there were Marines I knew who never deployed, & never once had to pack their seabag to go anywhere, unless it was to Edson rifle range down at Camp Pendleton to obtain their rifle qualification scores for the year. So it's a highly variable process which could be as little as 0% deployment rate all the way up to 75% deployment rate in the course of one year to an overall average of 50% for your entire enlistment. It's just up to you to try to control where you want to go like Embassy Duty, but sometimes you will have very little to no control at all where you wish to go.I got to go to a wide variety of places when I deployed: Hawaii; Vancouver, B.C.; Pusan, Korea; Subic Bay, Philippines; Singapore; Hong Kong; Perth, Australia; Karachi, Pakistan; Mombasa Island, Kenya; Diego Garcia; as well as a number of countries in the Middle East. But you will have an adventure that will last you a lifetime with memories that you can tell others about.
Who gets deployed first, the National Guard or Reserves?
Neither; this is due to the basic difference in the two reserve forces of the Army. Also, the Army National Guard is often deployed to cover State needs of the Governor of the state they are stationed, while, individual mebers of the Army Reserve can be activated to fill the individual needs of the active army at anytime.Units; not individual members of the Army National Guard can be and have been deployed to meet the needs of Army, however this requires them to be “federalized" by having the units commander in chief changed from the Governor to the President. This type of action would of course be during times of great need in meeting national security needs. Note, with A few exceptions, no Army National Guard units were deployed in support of the Viet Nam War, however, several Army National Guard units were deployed in support of both Iraq wars and Afghanistan because of the way specific types of units were stationed with Army National Guard and not the active Army. For example, there were insufficient numbers of artillery units stationed within the Active Army to meet the Department of Defences needs in Iraq and Afghanistan, so, artillery units from the Army National Guard were Federalized to fill the requirement.The key difference between deployments of the Army Reserve and the Army National Guard is the fact that the Army Reserve mobilizes individuals while the Army National Guard mobilizes units.
