How often can one expect to get deployed in a NGSF unit?
Battalions are deploying about every 3 years but individual companies volunteer to deploy out of rotation all the time.

As a NG SF soldier you can volunteer to deploy with other companies, battalions, or the other Group or wait to deploy with your company/BN when your turn comes...

For instance, my last trip the junior weapons guy had been out of the course for 3-1/2 years and was on his third deployment...

In short, you can stay as busy as you want to be at this moment. We are waiting to see what becomes of the rotations after next year.
