Do all jobs in the Army deploy...?

I was looking at diffrent Army jobs and I couldnt see how such jobs as fire department, dental, animal services, and those sort of jobs would deploy.

Do all jobs in the Army deploy...?
All jobs may deploy but not all jobs have a great chance of deploying. You are correct that jobs such as fire dept., dental, animal services may not deploy, but sometimes those specialties are needed overseas. Although, since these are support jobs, you more than likely will go to a secure base.
Reply:Sorry meant to say glad you read the whole post before trying to call me a punk. Report It

Reply:You are a Sgt in the Air Force and you don't know which jobs deploy? Report It

Reply:NAH...I don't think so....
Reply:Every military specialty has the possibility of deployment. If you are afraid of going overseas or a war zone then join the coast guard...well even some of those poor brown water types end up in foreign service so you should probably work at Taco Bell.
Reply:If you're scared say so........If you swear in, expect to deploy.
Reply:Almost all the jobs in the military can be deployed to different regions. I know. I was in the Army for six years. They like to move people around every year and a half during your time in service.





This could mean to another duty station within the US or another one overseas. But, believe me - you're gonna get orders to redeploy every so often...
Reply:I would think so. All types of positions are need by the service personnel where ever they are. Would you not want a dentist if you needed one? If your station was on fire it would need to be put out. The same with the other fields too.
Reply:I am prior Army and I went to the MEPS station to re-enlist. I wanted to go in to learn Chinese. My recruiter warned me that if I enlisted that I would surely go to Iraq. He probably saved my life.
Reply:Every branch/department of the military CAN deploy. No 1 branch is set up for homeland. All the ones you mentioned can be used "over there" Don't forget that military bases become small chunks of your country, and they have a need for fire departments, dentists...etc, even if the base is really small and stuck in the middle of a battle zone.





Maybe consider joing the reserves 1st if you are unsure of signing up for 3 years. Get a taste of it. You can go full time anytime during, but you can't get out of the regulars once you have comitted.
Reply:Yes. It's all a matter of the need for your specific specialty. All those specialties you mentioned are in demand overseas. However, you could get lucky and get assigned to a unit that is not yet deployed.
Reply:I understand your question and your addendums.





The answers that say yes are absolutly correct. I returned from the SandBox in DEC05. I spent a year with an Active Army unit in Kuwait. I am in a Finance unit.. Army National Guard. All of the guard units are shifting resources around for deployments. If you are not where they want you they can make changes and get you where they need you. The active Army is even better at it than the Guard or Reserves are. If you are not deployable, they really do not need you.... Sorry





P.S. As mentioned in one of the answers, the camps are like cities. The base I was at had a fire station, medical and dental facilities and the MP's had dogs. The medical was run by Active Army and Reserve Navy and Army medical staff some of which left practices from the states when they deployed. The active duty just moved from a Army hospital at a base from the states to our camp. They were lucky being where they were, some of their friends (some of my friends) got stationed "Up North".





The bottom line is that the military will promise you what you want to hear and use you how they see fit.





oh yeah, Thank you for your service.
