I'm an OR Tech and I understand that there's CSH/FST units but being in a MEDDAC hospital I wasn't for sure if we stay and continue doing our job while CSH/FST handle deployment duties.

Should provide a lot of insight into your job as you progress.

Weirder things have happened, but I've never heard of a soldier in your situation getting sent anywhere.<br> SGT Private RallyPoint Member Thu, 20 Mar 2014 06:17:25 -0400 2014-03-20T06:17:25-04:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/being-deployed-in-meddac?n=94467&urlhash=94467 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The term is PROFIS (PROfessional FIller System). It allows units to get specialized soldiers for a deployment only (be they combat or humanitarian missions). A doctor, for example, would not normally be assigned to a battalion. if they deploy, the MD is brought over for the duration of the deployment. I've only seen it happen with medical providers. You could dig into AR 601-142 for the details. If you are interested, check out <a target="_blank" href="http://www.mods.army.mil/">http://www.mods.army.mil/</a>. Click on the volunteer icon on the left side of the screen. It allows MEDDAC soldiers to volunteer for deployments, pending the approval of their chain of command.<br><div class="pta-link-card"><br /><div class="pta-link-card-picture"><img src="http://www.mods.army.mil/analytics/piwik.php?idsite=1"></div><br /><div class="pta-link-card-content"><br /><div class="pta-link-card-title"><a target="_blank" href="http://www.mods.army.mil/.">MODS - Welcome to MODS Portal</a></div><br /><div class="pta-link-card-description"></div><br /></div><br /><div style="clear:both;"></div><br /><div class="pta-box-hide"></div><br /></div> SSG Genaro Negrete Sat, 05 Apr 2014 18:52:43 -0400 2014-04-05T18:52:43-04:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/being-deployed-in-meddac?n=655247&urlhash=655247 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Yes there's always a possibility. Most likely you only deploy as a delta in meddac if you volunteer. Yes you continue doing whatever it is you're assigned to do in meddac as well.
