Can a person be deployed when they have less than a year left when they would return?

Yes, it happened to me, had 5 months left and deployed to Iraq for 15 months, was then held in reserve status for the duration of the Inactive Ready Reserve contract which I believe they have you a total of 8 years.

yes, they can deploy you. Until the contract has ended you still belong to the United State Army

I know a guy who ETS’ed while at MOB station and still got deployed. Had to re-enlist with a back dated contract down range.

I've seen Seniors, Peers, and Subordinates deploy with twelve months or less and have one of two things happen. 1, they get sent back 90 days prior to their ETS..or 2, their contract gets extended so they can finish the deployment and they ETS when they return.

I deployed in 2009 when I had 5 months til I ETSd. I was involuntarily extended til 2049 or end of conflict. Finally got my final approval to ets on dec 23rd 2010 just shy of 14 months past my original ets date.

From what i was told no you cant be deployed with less then a year however they can force you to extemd a year under stop loss to send you so theres cheatch 22.

No

Yes they can still deploy. They can even delay your original ETS date. Stop-loss is a rare occurrence.

Yes, your contract with your Country most likely has a statement to indicate extensions. I know when I was in the Navy, we would be required to CROSS-DECK, which is transferring from one squadron (Aviation) to another because the receiving squadron was short manned in a necessary talent. Most of us did it with Honor and pride in OUR Country and its needs. I di 30 years in the Navy and retired in 1991. God, Country, Family.

Yes
