Does the 12 month deployment go for Afghanistan too.

Question

My husband is in Afghanistan until June of 09. He left in March of 08. I was wondering if the guys that are deployed now get to come home in 12 months or if they have to put their whole 15 minths in. Someone please help

Answer 1

yes, any military get deploy on or after 1 August 08 only do 12 months. those who is already over there will finish out their tour of duty (15 months).  

Answer 2

Deployments AFTER August 1, 2008 will be 12 months no matter where they get sent to..

All other deployments will go on as scheduled. No deployments will be cut short if they deployed prior to August 1.
