Could I get put on orders for a broadening assignment with less than 24 months on station? If so, could I just sign a dec statement?

Re enlistment/ stabilization question
So about a year ago I re enlisted for 4 years for a CONUS duty station of choice and plan on getting out after this contract. I just got to the duty station I requested and have 3 years left. I know the army re enlistment page says that’s I’m guaranteed 24 months on station but I was wondering how true that is because I can’t find a regulation about it. Could I get put on order for a broadening assignment or orders for anything, or am I protected for now?
If I did get put on orders could I just sign a dec statement?

SFC (Join to see) is right, too many variables. However, when I worked at HRC, I moved personnel at 13 months on station, we used 13 months as a rule of thumb but the JTR says 1 PCS per FY, but keep in mind that can also be waived per AR 614-200.
There's too many variables to answer all you questions at once. The SRR for recruiting is 36 months and the SRR for Drill is 24 months from report. If you don't meet the requirements then you can decline to reenlist and ETS
If you're 1000% sure you're done with the military after this, sure you can sign a Dec statement. I signed one a few months, and while I still believe in my reasons, signing dec can have its unintended consequences.
As for the rest, sorry I'm not sure. The army could always try and throw you on orders if they deem you have enough time remaining. If they were to do that, I'd call branch and let them know your plans.

Shouldn't affect any SFL-TAP type resources such some of the apprenticeships I've heard they allow soldiers to attend 6 months out from ETS, but you know how some command teams are when they know soldiers are choosing to ETS.
