Can a Soldier/Service member be non-deployable on account of a family member/dependent? For instance if a Soldier's spouse has diagnosed mental health disorders, could they be non-deployable to care and provide for them?
Tried searching for regs, memos, etc. As always I appreciate any assistance. Hang Tough!

You can be, but there are time limits involved, if you remain no deployable beyond that time you can be separated.

Yes, but that determination can lead to a hardship discharge. Many commanders would interpret that if the dependent is so bad off and relying upon you that you can not do your job by deploying to do what you have trained to do that you need to find something else to do besides the Army.
